Ideal woman? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

delia

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

'woman?' is the definition.

'ideal' is the wordplay.
'ideal' can be anagrammed to 'DELIA'.
Though, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for delia that I've seen before include "-- Smith, TV chef" , "Sonnets to - (Daniel)" , "Woman" , "Girl" , "-- Smith, TV cook" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
