Present some women do want (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

endow

'present' is the definition.
(endowing is a kind of presenting)

'some women do want' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ENDOW' is hidden in the letters of 'women do want'.

(Other definitions for endow that I've seen before include "Provide with an income, say a college" , "Establish (university post) by giving funds" , "Settle permanent income on" , "provide permanent finance for ..." , "supply" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
