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

'the female' is the definition.
(female sheep)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for ewe that I've seen before include "Language" , "One looking sheepish" , "Female animal" , "Female ovine" , "Wool producer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
