Female, yet named John? (3)
I believe the answer is:
doe
This might be a double definition.
'female' is the first definition.
(female deer)
'named john?' is the second definition.
'doe' can be an answer for 'john?' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not sure about the 'named' bit.
'yet' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for doe that I've seen before include "Buck's mate" , "Female hare" , "She eats vegetarian food" , "She's a deer" , "Female creature" .)
