Model English females singly, ignoring odd bits (6)
I believe the answer is:
effigy
'model' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'english females singly ignoring odd bits' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'females' becomes 'ff' (the abbreviation for female repeated).
'ignoring odd bits' indicates alternate letters (letters in odd-numbered positions removed).
The alternate letters of 'singly' are 'igy'.
'e'+'ff'+'igy'='EFFIGY'
(Other definitions for effigy that I've seen before include "Statue or model of a person" , "Sculpted figure of a person" , "Crude model of person" , "Likeness of a person in sculpture" , "(Burnable) representation of a person" .)
