Crossword Genius

Female from Passchendaele (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hen

'female' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'from passchendaele' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'HEN' is hidden within 'passchendaele'.

(Other definitions for hen that I've seen before include "Source of eggs" , "Not cock" , "Laying bird" , "Adult female chicken" , "Coop resident" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
