View reversed after female charges (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fees

'charges' is the definition.
(fee is a kind of charge)

'view reversed after female' is the wordplay.
'view' becomes 'see' ('see' can be a synonym of 'view'**).
'reversed' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'see' written backwards gives 'ees'.
'ees' put after 'f' is 'FEES'.

(Other definitions for fees that I've seen before include "pay" , "(Membership) charges" , "Emoluments" , "School payment(s), for example" , "Charges, payments" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
