'catch that woman beneath?' is the definition.
The definition and answer are not the same part of speech.

'catch that woman beneath?' is the wordplay.
'catch' becomes 'net' (netting is a kind of catching).
'that woman' becomes 'her' (her refers to a woman).
'beneath?' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue).
'net'+'her'='NETHER'
