Exploit of female put away (4)
I believe the answer is:
feat
'exploit' is the definition.
('feat' can be a synonym of 'exploit')
'female put away' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'put away' becomes 'eat' (I've seen this before**).
'f'+'eat'='FEAT'
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for feat that I've seen before include "Remarkable achievement of fate" , "Courageous act" , "Great deed" , "Notable achievement" , "Achievement needing skill, strength, etc." .)
