Sensible women’s group gets directions (4)
I believe the answer is:
wise
'sensible' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'women's group gets directions' is the wordplay.
'women's group' becomes 'wi' (Women's Institute).
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'directions' becomes 'se' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'wi'+'se'='WISE'
(Other definitions for wise that I've seen before include "Old and knowledgable" , "Experienced, knowing" , "Having good judgment or common sense" , "Clever" , "Having discernment" .)
