Foreign girl making Alfie run (8)

I believe the answer is:

fraulein

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

'foreign girl' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'making alfie run' is the wordplay.
'making' indicates an anagram.
'alfie'+'run'='alfierun'
'alfierun' is an anagram of 'FRAULEIN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fraulein that I've seen before include "German Miss" , "Berlin woman" .)
