Female comes in close, one for look (6)
I believe the answer is:
shufti
'look' is the definition.
(a quick or furtive look)
'female comes in close one' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'comes in' indicates putting letters inside.
'close' becomes 'shut' ('shut' can be a synonym of 'close').
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'f' going inside 'shut' is 'shuft'.
'shuft'+'i'='SHUFTI'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for shufti that I've seen before include "Glance (colloq.)" , "Quick inspection" , "Colloquial word for look" , "Look (inf. from the Arabic)" , "Quick look or reconnoitre" .)
