Female going round in yacht (7)
I believe the answer is:
cynthia
'female' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'going round in yacht' is the wordplay.
'going round' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'yacht'='inyacht'
'inyacht' is an anagram of 'CYNTHIA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cynthia that I've seen before include "Woman" , "Girl's name" , "Girl" .)
