That woman in the Arabian Nights (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ann

'that woman' is the definition.

'in the arabian nights' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ANN' is hidden within 'arabian nights'.

(Other definitions for ann that I've seen before include "... Margret or Hathaway" , "Lady's name" , "Girl's name" , "- - Jones, 1969 Wimbledon champion" , "Ms Widdecombe" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
