She contradicts Billy (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nanny

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'billy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'she contradicts' is the wordplay.
'she' becomes 'nan'.
'contradicts' becomes 'ny' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'nan'+'ny'='NANNY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nanny that I've seen before include "Child's nurse or female goat" , "butter" , "Posh child minder or female goat" , "Overprotective government deplored by Thatcher" , "Children's nurse" .)
