Quarrelsome woman recycling correction fluid on article (8)

I believe the answer is:

xantippe

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

'quarrelsome woman recycling' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'correction fluid on article' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'fluid' could be 'n' (N is an example) and 'n' is present in the answer.
'on' could be 'at' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'at' is found within the remaining letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for xantippe that I've seen before include "Shrewish woman" , "Philosopher's wife" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
