Crossword Genius

Fail to catch girl (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

miss

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'fail to catch' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'girl' is the second definition.
('miss' can be a synonym of 'girl')

(Other definitions for miss that I've seen before include "Girl - bad shot" , "Strike noisily; criticise" , "Fail to get" , "Fail to locate" , "Single girl" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
