Crossword Genius

She helps to make wire netting (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

irene

'she' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'helps to make wire netting' is the wordplay.
'helps to make' says the answer is hidden in the clue (I've seen 'helping to make' mean this).
'IRENE' is hidden in the letters of 'wire netting'.

(Other definitions for irene that I've seen before include "Greek goddess of peace (English name)" , "Peaceful girl" , "Girl of peace" , "Girl's name; Soames Forsyte's first wife" , "woman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News and The Globe and Mail.
