Women tend to reorder bequest (9)
I believe the answer is:
endowment
'bequest' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'women tend to reorder' is the wordplay.
'to reorder' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'women'+'tend'='womentend'
'womentend' anagrammed gives 'ENDOWMENT'.
(Other definitions for endowment that I've seen before include "Bequeathed income" , "Gift to an institution" , "(Income from) testamentary provision" , "Income/property settled on person/institution" , "Grant" .)
