I believe the answer is:

circe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'charming woman left' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'group' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'out of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for circe that I've seen before include "Siren" , "Enchantress encountered by Odysseus" , "She bewitched Odysseus's men" , "she's into 20 [WITCHCRAFT]" , "Greek sorceress who detained Odysseus on her island" .)
