British non-technical spelling of the unborn offspring that develops from an animal embryo (6)

I believe the answer is:

foetus

(Other definitions for foetus that I've seen before include "Developed embryo in the womb" , "Embryo in later stages" , "issue" , "Human embryo more than six weeks after conception" , "Unborn child" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
