Hire one out for featured female (7)
I believe the answer is:
heroine
'featured female' is the definition.
'heroine' can be an answer for 'female' (heroine is a kind of female). I'm not sure about the 'featured' bit.
'hire one out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'hire'+'one'='hireone'
'hireone' is an anagram of 'HEROINE'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heroine that I've seen before include "Chief female character in a book" , "Intrepid woman" , "Woman of courageous achievements" , "Brave woman" , "The main good female character in a work of fiction" .)
