Crossword Genius

Woman's date brings regret (14)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disappointment

'regret' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'woman's date' is the wordplay.
'woman's' becomes 'di's' (Di is short for Diana).
'date' becomes 'appointment' (both can mean a scheduled meeting).
'dis'+'appointment'='DISAPPOINTMENT'

'brings' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for disappointment that I've seen before include "Frustrating thing" , "Let-down" , "unhappiness" , "Frustration" , "Setback" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
