One assuming female is incapable (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unfit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'incapable' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'one assuming female' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'un' (I've seen this in other clues).
'assuming' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'female' becomes 'fit' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'un'+'fit'='UNFIT'

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unfit that I've seen before include "Not in good physical condition, or not suitable" , "In poor condition" , "Ill - out of shape" , "Ill-equipped" , "In bad physical condition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
