Girlfriend (9)

I believe the answer is:

inamorata

'girlfriend' is the definition.
(an inamorata is a lover)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for inamorata that I've seen before include "A woman loved" , "Woman in love" , "Woman beloved" , "Beloved of one another" , "6 across [BOSOM] friend" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
