Loaf around, embracing right woman (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flora

'woman' is the definition.

'loaf around embracing right' is the wordplay.
'around' is an anagram indicator.
'embracing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'loaf' with letters rearranged gives 'floa'.
'floa' enclosing 'r' is 'FLORA'.

(Other definitions for flora that I've seen before include "Various plants" , "Plant life of particular area" , "__ MacDonald, heroine of the 1745 Jacobite rising" , "Botanical specimens" , "For example, Miss Macdonald" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
