Sense about promise given to female for some fencing (5,5)

'some fencing' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'sense about promise given to female' is the wordplay.
'sense' becomes 'sight' (sight or vision is a sense).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'promise' becomes 'word' (as in 'I give you my word').
'given to' says to put letters next to each other.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'word'+'f'='wordf'
'sight' enclosing 'wordf' is 'SWORD FIGHT'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
