This girl may provide average answer! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

norma

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

'this girl may' is the definition.
'Norma' can be an answer for 'girl'. I'm not certain of the remainder of the definition.

'average answer' is the wordplay.
'average' becomes 'norm' (synonyms).
'answer' becomes 'a' (abbreviation eg in Q and A).
'norm'+'a'='NORMA'

'provide' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for norma that I've seen before include "small group of stars" , "Girl" , "She incited Gauls v. Romans (Bellini)" , "Roman (anag) - girl's name" , "Opera - ex-PM's wife" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
