Fancy man or woman? (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

8

'woman?' is the definition.

'fancy man or' is the wordplay.
'fancy' indicates an anagram.
'man'+'or'='manor'
'manor' with letters rearranged gives 'NORMA'.

(Other definitions for norma that I've seen before include "Girl" , "The 'Rule' constellation" , "Opera - ex-PM's wife" , "John Major's wife - Bellini opera" , "Marilyn was properly one" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
