Quarrel expected with female showing up (4)
I believe the answer is:
feud
'quarrel' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'expected with female showing up' is the wordplay.
'expected' becomes 'due' (I've seen this before).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'showing up' is a reversal indicator.
'due'+'f'='duef'
'duef' back-to-front is 'FEUD'.
(Other definitions for feud that I've seen before include "Squabble" , "Prolonged fight between families, very Sicilian" , "Piece of land once" , "State of prolonged mutual hostility" , "Vendetta" .)
