Crossword Genius

Left woman to right of satellite (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lunar

'of satellite' is the definition.
(I know this)

'left woman to right' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'woman' becomes 'una' ().
'to right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'l'+'una'+'r'='LUNAR'

(Other definitions for lunar that I've seen before include "of a circling body" , "Selenic" , "Pertaining to the moon" , "One sort of month" , "Of a natural satellite" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
