Crossword Genius

Female sets rig out (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tigress

'female' is the definition.
(I know that tigress is a type of female)

'sets rig out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'sets'+'rig'='setsrig'
'setsrig' with letters rearranged gives 'TIGRESS'.

(Other definitions for tigress that I've seen before include "Female striped cat" , "dangerous animal" , "Wild cat (female)" , "Wild woman" , "Large female cat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
