Flavouring fanatic joins woman (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nutmeg

'flavouring' is the definition.
(I know that nutmeg is a type of spice)

'fanatic joins woman' is the wordplay.
'fanatic' becomes 'nut' (I've seen this before).
'joins' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'woman' becomes 'meg' ().
'nut'+'meg'='NUTMEG'

(Other definitions for nutmeg that I've seen before include "Fragrant seed of tropical tree grated as spice" , "Aromatic seed - met gnu (anag)" , "Aromatic seed - tropical tree" , "Aromatic spicy kernel" , "Give out light" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
