Pretty-looking female with wind (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fair

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

'pretty' is the definition.
(both can mean beautiful or attractive)

'looking female with wind' is the wordplay.
'looking female' becomes 'f' (common abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'looking' bit.).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'wind' becomes 'air' (air is a kind of wind).
'f'+'air'='FAIR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fair that I've seen before include "Where the helter-skelter may be" , "Just - blonde - outdoor entertainment" , "honest" , "likely" , "Show - just - lovely" .)
