Crossword Genius

Don’t hit girl (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

miss

This clue is a double definition.

'don't hit' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'girl' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for miss that I've seen before include "Fail to hit; girl" , "Damsel" , "Overlook - misfire - young lady" , "someone who isn't married" , "Agatha Christie's detective" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
