I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'woman?' is the definition.
(her refers to a woman)

'that motherly' is the wordplay.
'HER' is hidden within the letters.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for her that I've seen before include "Pronoun used of ship" , "The woman's" , "That lady" , "The female's" , "She, objectively" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
