Reason it out with a foreign girl (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

senorita

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

'a foreign girl' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'reason it out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'reason'+'it'='reasonit'
'reasonit' anagrammed gives 'SENORITA'.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for senorita that I've seen before include "Young Spanish woman for notaries" , "Spanish miss" , "Young lady of Spain" , "Treason I commit for young Spanish woman" , "Young Spanish lady" .)
