At the back of beyond, a woman will intimidate! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

daunt

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'intimidate' is the definition.
(I know that daunt is a type of intimidate)

'at the back of beyond a woman will' is the wordplay.
'at the back of' suggests the final letters (I've seen 'at the back' mean this).
'a woman will' becomes 'aunt' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The final letter of 'beyond' is 'd'.
'd'+'aunt'='DAUNT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for daunt that I've seen before include "Cow" , "Make (someone) apprehensive" , "Scare off - dismay" , "Dishearten" , "Cause to feel intimidated" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
