Man detailed female complaint (6)
I believe the answer is:
malady
'complaint' is the definition.
(malady is a kind of health problem)
'man detailed female' is the wordplay.
'detailed' means to remove the last letter (the tail of the word is removed).
'female' becomes 'lady' (lady is a kind of female).
'man' with its last letter taken off is 'ma'.
'ma'+'lady'='MALADY'
(Other definitions for malady that I've seen before include "Disease, ailment" , "Complaint" , "Afflication" , "Sickness or disease" , "Illness or disease" .)
