Crossword Genius

Some lounge lizard’s girl (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eliza

'girl' is the definition.

'some lounge lizard's' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ELIZA' is hidden in the letters of 'lounge lizards'.

(Other definitions for eliza that I've seen before include "Female" , "Miss Doolittle/s first name" , "girl" , "- Doolittle (My Fair Lady)" , "Miss Doolittle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
