She got caught by the lion (4)
I believe the answer is:
cleo
'she' is the definition.
'caught by the lion' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the lion' becomes 'leo' ('lion' in Latin).
'c'+'leo'='CLEO'
'got' is the link.
(Other definitions for cleo that I've seen before include "Dame Laine" , "Jazz singer, ___ Laine" , "Carry on -- (1964 film)" , "Woman" , "Ms Laine - one of the 14 films" .)
