Please say it's wrong grabbing female (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

satisfy

'please' is the definition.
(to satisfy someone is to please them)

'say it's wrong grabbing female' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates an anagram.
'grabbing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'female' becomes 'f' (common abbreviation).
'say'+'its'='sayits'
'sayits' with letters rearranged gives 'satisy'.
'satisy' placed around 'f' is 'SATISFY'.

(Other definitions for satisfy that I've seen before include "To convince" , "indulge" , "Please; comply with" , "Make contented, fill need" , "Fulfil requirements" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
