Girl for a trapper, we hear (7)

I believe the answer is:

annette

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

'girl' is the definition.

'a trapper we hear' is the wordplay.
'a' becomes 'an'.
'trapper' becomes 'net' (something which traps).
'we hear' becomes 'te' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'an'+'net'+'te'='ANNETTE'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for annette that I've seen before include "Female" , "- - Crosbie, actress" , "girl" , "- - Crosbie (TV)" , "Name; teen tan (anag.)" .)
