Scolding old woman (8)
I believe the answer is:
harridan
'scolding old woman' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for harridan that I've seen before include "old woman, belligerent sort" , "Termagant" , "Female bully" , "Vixen" , "and badger sounding out, Sir" .)
