Some item: man and woman (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emma

'woman' is the definition.

'some item man and' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'EMMA' can be found hidden inside 'item man and'.

(Other definitions for emma that I've seen before include "Eponymous heroine" , "Lady - Hamilton, mistress of Nelson" , "Mrs Bovary" , "book" , "Victorian prime minister" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
