Government ring fences sign for Ireland that is produced by young woman (6)
I believe the answer is:
girlie
'government ring fences sign for ireland that is produced by young woman' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'that is produced by young woman' is the wordplay.
'that is' becomes 'ie' (short for Latin 'id est', 'that is').
'produced by' says to put letters next to each other.
'young woman' becomes 'girl' (a girl is a female child).
'ie' put after 'girl' is 'GIRLIE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for girlie that I've seen before include "concerned with scantily-clad females" , "such a magazine?" , "featuring scantily clad young women" .)
