Wife to moan about someone like her (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

woman

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

'wife' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'moan about someone like her' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'moan' is 'oman' which is present in the answer.
A single letter 'w' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for woman that I've seen before include "Adult female" , "Lady" , "With 1a [OLD], one's rather timid" , "With 1a [NEW] a freedom fighter" , "person not going on stag-night" .)
