She may be a bit of a fool (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flo

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

'a fool' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'she may be a bit of' is the wordplay.
'she may' becomes 'fl' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'be a bit' suggests taking the first letters (I've seen 'a bit of' mean this).
The first letter of 'of' is 'o'.
'fl'+'o'='FLO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for flo that I've seen is " Nightingale".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
