Eg Spice Girl engaged by male fraudsters on time (9)
I believe the answer is:
condiment
'eg spice' is the definition.
(I know that spice is a type of condiment)
'girl engaged by male fraudsters on time' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'Di' (short for Diane or Diana).
'engaged by' means one lot of letters goes inside another (I've seen this in other clues).
'male fraudsters' becomes 'conmen' (men who con people).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'di' put inside 'conmen' is 'condimen'.
'condimen'+'t'='CONDIMENT'
(Other definitions for condiment that I've seen before include "Ketchup perhaps" , "Seasoning" , "Eg, pickle or pepper" , "Season" .)
