Ross

I believe the answer is:

olive branch

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

'peace offering' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'woman at certain bank' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'Olive' (woman's name).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'certain bank' becomes 'branch' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'olive'+'branch'='OLIVE BRANCH'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for olive branch that I've seen before include "One offered in peace" , "Emblem of peace" , "that will come to a 'sticky' end" , "Symbol of peace" , "Child reading prayer book" .)
