Shroud the woman filled with passion (7)
I believe the answer is:
sheathe
'shroud' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'woman filled with passion' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'she'.
'filled with' indicates putting letters inside.
'passion' becomes 'heat' (synonyms).
'she' placed around 'heat' is 'SHEATHE'.
'the' is the link.
(Other definitions for sheathe that I've seen before include "Put (a sword) it its cover" , "Cover in case" , "Put away (a sword)" , "Put (a sword) into its holder" , "Encase in protection" .)
