Pat and Henry organised female event (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hen party

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

'female event' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'pat and henry organised' is the wordplay.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'organised' indicates an anagram.
'pat'+'henry'='pathenry'
'pathenry' is an anagram of 'HEN-PARTY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hen party that I've seen before include "Females celebrating" , "Event to which stags are not invited" , "occasion lacking men" , "Female-only gathering" , "Women's gathering (colloq.)" .)
