It takes only a trice to complete her name! (3)
I believe the answer is:
bea
'her name' is the definition.
'it takes only a trice to complete' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is found in the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
A single letter 'b' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
