Funny sort of female leaving trunk (5)
I believe the answer is:
torso
'trunk' is the definition.
('torso' can be a synonym of 'trunk')
'funny sort of female leaving' is the wordplay.
'funny' is an anagram indicator.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'leaving' suggests deleting specific letters.
'of' with 'f' taken away is 'o'.
'sort' anagrammed gives 'tors'.
'tors'+'o'='TORSO'
(Other definitions for torso that I've seen before include "Poorly-dressed child" , "Main part of human body" , "Chest" , "Roost (anag)" , "Piece of bronze" .)
