She turns up with a title (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

madam

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

'a title' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'she turns up' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'she' could be 'mada' and 'mada' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'm' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for madam that I've seen before include "Woman running a brothel" , "Leader of House of Congress" , "formidable woman" , "Woman of standing" , "What you would call a female customer (or a spoiled girl!)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
