Woman of Indian ancestry (5)
I believe the answer is:
diana
'woman' is the definition.
'of indian ancestry' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'DIANA' is hidden within 'indian ancestry'.
(Other definitions for diana that I've seen before include "Dame - Rigg, actress" , "British princess" , "Roman equivalent of Artemis" , "Roman goddess of the moon and hunting" , "Roman goddess of the hunt, or tragic English princess" .)
