She's been married at least once (5)
I believe the answer is:
widow
'she's' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for widow that I've seen before include "Grass --, divorced woman" , "Relict" , "One losing partner" , "Woman whose husband is dead" , "The Merry --, operetta" .)
