Woman gets directions in Polish (5)
I believe the answer is:
sheen
'polish' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'woman gets directions' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'she'.
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'directions' becomes 'en' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'she'+'en'='SHEEN'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for sheen that I've seen before include "actor?" , "brilliance" , "Acting family" , "Superficial brightness" , "Radiance" .)
