Raciness giving a girl a bit of oomph? (5)
I believe the answer is:
speed
'oomph?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for speed that I've seen before include "make rapid progress" , "Film sensitivity to light" , "Tempo - drug" , "Swiftness" , "Alacrity" .)
