He has a way with a female (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hen

'a female' is the definition.
(hen is a kind of female)

'he has a way' is the wordplay.
'has' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a way' becomes 'n' (Compass direction - North**).
'he'+'n'='HEN'

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hen that I've seen before include "Insufficient in amount" , "Female lobster, fowl" , "Laying bird" , "Female bird" , "This party is for women only" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
