Shrew (9)
I believe the answer is:
termagant
'shrew' is the definition.
(I know that shrew can be written as termagant)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for termagant that I've seen before include "Witch" , "Harsh-tempered woman" , "TT manager is an overbearing woman" , "Awful female" , "battleaxe" .)
