Ladies' family getting brief visit? (4-2)
I believe the answer is:
look-in
'brief visit?' is the definition.
(I have seen 'short visit' mean 'look in' so perhaps 'visit' could also mean 'look in'; 'brief' suggests an abbreviation)
'ladies' family getting' is the wordplay.
'ladies'' becomes 'loo' (as in the ladies toilet).
'family' becomes 'kin' (synonyms).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'loo'+'kin'='LOOK-IN'
(Other definitions for look-in that I've seen before include "Make a short visit of visual sort?" , "Watch TV (colloq.)" , "Chance of success" .)
