A young woman is wrong (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amiss

'is wrong' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'a young woman' is the wordplay.
'young woman' becomes 'miss' (title for a young woman).
'a'+'miss'='AMISS'

(Other definitions for amiss that I've seen before include "Faulty" , "Mistakenly" , "Revealing fault" , "Not functioning properly" , "Wrong; inaccurate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
