a woman who decided the food chain needed her name at the top.
means A woman who hunts — whether for game, prey, or anything she's set her sights on.
from From 'hunt' — Old English 'huntian,' meaning to chase or pursue game — plus '-ress,' the feminine suffix that came into English through Old French (as in 'actress,' 'seamstress'). So 'huntress' is a hunter, marked female by a French-flavored ending grafted onto a thoroughly Germanic word.
