Stop a woman with hand (3)
I believe the answer is:
paw
'hand' is the definition.
('paw' can be a synonym of 'hand')
'stop a woman with' is the wordplay.
'with' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'PAW' is hidden in the letters of 'stop a woman'.
(Other definitions for paw that I've seen before include "Hand; foot" , "Cat's foot" , "Animal's foot" , "Manhandle" , "Animal foot or hill-billy dad" .)
