Mean to get a girl (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

norma

'girl' is the definition.

'mean to get a' is the wordplay.
'mean' becomes 'norm' (I've seen this before).
'to get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'norm'+'a'='NORMA'

(Other definitions for norma that I've seen before include "name for Monroe" , "small group of stars" , "Girl" , "Eponymous woman of opera" , "John Major's wife - Bellini opera" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
