Joe has both hands on her (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

girl

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

'her' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'joe has both hands' is the wordplay.
'joe' becomes 'GI' (GI Joe).
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'both hands' becomes 'RL' (abbreviations for left and right).
'gi'+'rl'='GIRL'

'on' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for girl that I've seen before include "Young woman" , "Lassie" , "Miss" , "See 5" , "A young female" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
