Party supported by English female (3)
I believe the answer is:
doe
'female' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'party supported by english' is the wordplay.
'party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party).
'supported by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (letters go below - in down clue).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'do'+'e'='DOE'
(Other definitions for doe that I've seen before include "Female kangaroo" , "Ode to a female deer" , "She's a deer" , "Female creature" , "Buck's mate" .)
