Girl needing daily refreshment (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lydia

'girl' is the definition.
(woman's name)

'daily refreshment' is the wordplay.
'refreshment' indicates an anagram.
'daily' with letters rearranged gives 'LYDIA'.

'needing' is the link.

(Other definitions for lydia that I've seen before include "girl" , "lady" , "Old country" , "'Love for --' (H.E. Bates)" , "Woman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Globe and Mail.
