She's a noted mother (3)
I believe the answer is:
mae
'she's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a noted mother' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'me' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mae that I've seen before include "Woman" , "- - West, movie vamp" , "The first Hollywood blonde femme fatale, . . . West" , "Girl" , "more Scots" .)
