Daughter possibly inane woman (6)
I believe the answer is:
dianne
'woman' is the definition.
'daughter possibly inane' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'inane' is an anagram of 'ianne'.
'd'+'ianne'='DIANNE'
I've seen this clue in The Sun.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
