Crossword Genius

Girl with a figure males are driven crazy by (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

damsel

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

'driven crazy by' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'girl with a figure males' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'Del'.
'with' is an insertion indicator.
'a figure males' becomes 'ams' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'del' enclosing 'ams' is 'DAMSEL'.

'are' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for damsel that I've seen before include "Young woman (often in distress)" , "distressed girl?" , "Young woman (archaic)" , "Young girl" , "Maiden, often in distress" .)
