Crossword Genius

Woman's relaxation generates complaint (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disease

'complaint' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'woman's relaxation' is the wordplay.
'woman's' becomes 'di's' (Di is short for Diana).
'relaxation' becomes 'ease' (synonyms).
'dis'+'ease'='DISEASE'

'generates' is the link.

(Other definitions for disease that I've seen before include "Ailment, malady" , "Contagion" , "22 [MALADY]" , "scurvy?" , "Sickness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
