Judge takes female relative for pleasure trip (5)
I believe the answer is:
jaunt
'pleasure trip' is the definition.
(I know this)
'judge takes female relative' is the wordplay.
'judge' becomes 'j' (abbreviation for judge).
'takes' says to put letters next to each other.
'female relative' becomes 'aunt' (I've seen this before).
'j'+'aunt'='JAUNT'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for jaunt that I've seen before include "Ramble - excursion" , "Pleasurable trip" , "Pleasure trip" , "Pleasure journey" , "Short excursion for pleasure" .)
