harlotry

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'blonde bombshell with attempt to cut out wife' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'female promiscuity' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'harlot' (harlot is a kind of female).
'promiscuity' becomes 'ry' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'harlot'+'ry'='HARLOTRY'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for harlotry that I've seen before include "promiscuous activity" , "Prostitution" , "sexual activity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
