Trophy wives ultimately accepted job (4)
I believe the answer is:
post
'job' is the definition.
(post is a kind of job)
'trophy wives ultimately accepted' is the wordplay.
'trophy' becomes 'pot' (I've seen this before).
'ultimately' says to take the final letters.
'accepted' indicates putting letters inside.
The final letter of 'wives' is 's'.
'pot' going around 's' is 'POST'.
(Other definitions for post that I've seen before include "Publish' mail' job" , "Mail; wooden stake" , "Prefix meaning after" , "Job; upright timber" , "Stake, job or mail" .)
