Woman distributing hoard (5)
I believe the answer is:
rhoda
'woman' is the definition.
'distributing hoard' is the wordplay.
'distributing' is an anagram indicator.
'hoard' is an anagram of 'RHODA'.
(Other definitions for rhoda that I've seen before include "Woman" , "Fem. name; hoard (anag.)" , "Girl's name; hoard (anag.)" , "Girl" .)
