How to address lady married to first man? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

madam

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'how to address lady' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'married to first man?' is the wordplay.
'to first' says to take the initial letters.
'man?' becomes 'adam' (man's name).
The initial letter of 'married' is 'm'.
'm'+'adam'='MADAM'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for madam that I've seen before include "How one may address a woman" , "formidable woman" , "Bossy girl" , "Formal address to a woman - precocious little girl" , "Make wildly happy" .)
