See female cut in (6)
I believe the answer is:
fathom
'see' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'female cut in' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'f' (common abbreviation).
'cut' means to remove the last letter.
'in' becomes 'at home' (someone at home is 'in').
'athome' with its last letter taken off is 'athom'.
'f'+'athom'='FATHOM'
(Other definitions for fathom that I've seen before include "Measure of depth, 6 ft." , "Get to the bottom of" , "Nautical measure of depth" , "Unit of depth - comprehend it" , "Six-foot measure" .)
