Damsel I possibly cause to go astray (7)
I believe the answer is:
mislead
'to go astray' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'damsel i possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'damsel'+'i'='damseli'
'damseli' is an anagram of 'MISLEAD'.
'cause' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mislead that I've seen before include "Deceive" , "Take someone in the wrong direction" , "Give a wrong impression to (someone)" , "Cause someone to believe something is not true" , "Fool" .)
