Look to one with feminine interior (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shufti

'look' is the definition.
(a quick or furtive look)

'to one with feminine interior' is the wordplay.
'to' becomes 'shut' (I've seen this before).
'one with' becomes 'i' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'feminine' becomes 'f' (abbreviation listed in Chambers).
'interior' indicates putting letters inside.
'shut'+'i'='shuti'
'shuti' enclosing 'f' is 'SHUFTI'.

(Other definitions for shufti that I've seen before include "Look (inf. from the Arabic)" , "Quick inspection" , "Informally, a brief inspection or look" , "eyeful" , "Gander" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
