Eastern girl embracing new result (5)
I believe the answer is:
ensue
'result' is the definition.
(to ensue is to occur or result)
'eastern girl embracing new' is the wordplay.
'eastern' becomes 'e'.
'girl' becomes 'sue' (girl's name).
'embracing' is an insertion indicator.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'e'+'sue'='esue'
'esue' placed around 'n' is 'ENSUE'.
(Other definitions for ensue that I've seen before include "Follow later" , "Befall" , "Follow as a consequence" , "Follow afterwards" , "succeed" .)
