Husband and woman returning dye (5)
I believe the answer is:
henna
'dye' is the definition.
(reddish-brown dye)
'husband and woman returning' is the wordplay.
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'woman' becomes 'anne' (woman's name).
'returning' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'anne' backwards is 'enna'.
'h'+'enna'='HENNA'
(Other definitions for henna that I've seen before include "Red-brown plant dye" , "Reddish-brown plant dye" , "A shrub, its red dye" , "Shrub used for cosmetic colouring" , "Dye used in skin decoration" .)
