Primary object of good husbandry? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bride

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

'good husbandry?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'primary object' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'object' could be 'br' (Br is an example) and 'br' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ide' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bride that I've seen before include "presumably honeymoon for me?" , "Woman getting wed" , "The Woman In White, perhaps?" , "Female at match" , "woman in front of train" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
