Female looking foxy in the FA (5)
I believe the answer is:
freda
'female looking' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'foxy in the fa' is the wordplay.
'foxy' becomes 'red' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in the' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'red' placed into 'fa' is 'FREDA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for freda that I've seen before include "Girl's name" , "Girl" , "Female name; fared (anag.)" , "woman" .)
