One imagines she's out of this world (5)
I believe the answer is:
venus
'world' is the definition.
('world' could refer to any planet)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for venus that I've seen before include "our Neighbour" , "Roman goddess of love" , "Solar system planet" , "Brightest planet" , "not really a star" .)
