Frustrated father embracing female (6)
I believe the answer is:
dashed
'frustrated' is the definition.
(dash can mean to ruin or frustrate a plan)
'father embracing female' is the wordplay.
'father' becomes 'dad' (informal term for father).
'embracing' is an insertion indicator.
'female' becomes 'she' ('she' refers to a woman).
'dad' enclosing 'she' is 'DASHED'.
(Other definitions for dashed that I've seen before include "completely spoiled" , "Ran; blooming" , "Thrown down or ran fast" , "Confounded" , "Frustrated" .)
