''To some extent, inhumane'' — a term for a dangerous woman? (3-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

man-eater

'a dangerous woman?' is the definition.
(man-eater can mean a seductive woman)

''to some extent inhumane' a term' is the wordplay.
''to some extent' says the answer is hidden in the clue (I've seen 'extent of' mean this (I've seen this in other clues)).
'MAN-EATER' is hidden in the letters of 'inhumane a term'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for man-eater that I've seen before include "Animal killing and feeding on humans" , "Life-threatening wild animal" , "Animal known to consume humans" , "Cannibal" , "Tiger dangerous to people" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
