Female ravers might well! (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

doe

'female' is the definition.
(female deer)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for doe that I've seen before include "partner for a buck" , "Feminine counterpart of stag" , "female of the species" , "She's a deer" , "Female creature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
