Woman beginning to enjoy article going north (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ena

'woman' is the definition.
(feminine given name)

'beginning to enjoy article going north' is the wordplay.
'beginning to' suggests taking the first letters.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'going north' says the letters should be written backwards.
The initial letter of 'enjoy' is 'e'.
'an' back-to-front is 'na'.
'e'+'na'='ENA'

(Other definitions for ena that I've seen before include "First name of Coronation Street's Widow Sharples, d. 1980" , "- - Sharples (TV)" , "- - Sharples ('Coronation Street')" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
