Want to keep womb, if not useless with ovaries removed? (8)
I believe the answer is:
neutered
'ovaries removed?' is the definition.
'want to keep womb if not useless' is the wordplay.
'want' becomes 'need' ('need' can be a synonym of 'want').
'to keep' indicates putting letters inside.
'womb' becomes 'uterus' (I've seen this before).
'if not' is a deletion indicator.
'useless' becomes 'us' (abbreviation for unserviceable).
'uterus' with 'us' removed is 'uter'.
'need' going around 'uter' is 'NEUTERED'.
'with' is the link.
(Another definition for neutered that I've seen is " cut".)
