Women this crazy for card game? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

whist

'card game?' is the definition.
(whist is a kind of card game)

'women this crazy' is the wordplay.
'women' becomes 'w' ().
'crazy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'this' anagrammed gives 'hist'.
'w'+'hist'='WHIST'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for whist that I've seen before include "Tricky card game" , "Card game for four" , "Demand silence" , "Trick-taking card game" , "Card-game" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
