Rule out getting male primate (5)
I believe the answer is:
lemur
'primate' is the definition.
(I know that lemur is a type of primate)
'rule out getting male' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'getting' is an insertion indicator.
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'rule' with letters rearranged gives 'leur'.
'leur' placed around 'm' is 'LEMUR'.
(Other definitions for lemur that I've seen before include "Social climber" , "Ring-tailed prosimian" , "Primate found only in Madagascar" , "Nocturnal primate from Madagascar" , "Tree-dwelling primate" .)
