Elect men in association with Churchill's other half (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clementine

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'other half' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'elect men in association with churchill's' is the wordplay.
'elect men in' can be anagrammed to 'CLEMENTINE'.
But, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clementine that I've seen before include "suits citrus production" , "my darling girl?" , "Citrus fruit" , "Unwell" , "Forty-niner's daughter; Mrs W. S. Churchill" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
