Old woman cold in raincoat (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mac

'raincoat' is the definition.
(macintosh is a type of raincoat)

'old woman cold' is the wordplay.
'old woman' becomes 'ma' (both can mean someone's mother).
'cold' becomes 'C' (eg on taps).
'ma'+'c'='MAC'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for mac that I've seen before include "It may help you keep dry" , "Coat - computer" , "Overcoat" , "A Gaelic son, often in name" , "Waterproof raincoat, in short" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
