She gets aid, somehow (3)
I believe the answer is:
ida
'she' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'aid somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'aid' anagrammed gives 'IDA'.
'gets' is the link.
(Other definitions for ida that I've seen before include "Name of girl or mountain" , "Cretan mount" , "princess on stage" , "Woman" , "Princess __ (G&S comic opera)" .)
