Hurry to fetch female to combine (3,8)

'combine' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'hurry to fetch female' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'hurry' could be 'run' (running is a kind of hurrying) and 'run' is present in the answer.
'to' is present in the answer.
'fetch' could be 'get' (synonyms) and 'get' is found in the answer.
'female' could be 'her' (I've seen this before) and 'her' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
