Idiot presents ring to a female (3)
I believe the answer is:
oaf
'idiot' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'ring to a female' is the wordplay.
'ring' becomes 'o'.
'to a female' becomes 'af' (I've seen this in other clues).
'o'+'af'='OAF'
'presents' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for oaf that I've seen before include "Stupid or clumsy man" , "Clod" , "Awkward, clumsy person" , "buffoon" , "Stupid lout" .)
