Female fox (5)
I believe the answer is:
vixen
'female fox' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for vixen that I've seen before include "A foxy lady?" , "She-fox" , "Female with a brush" , "Female fox - spiteful woman" , "Cunning Little creature (Janacek)" .)
