Girl's round about the advertisement, miss (5)

I believe the answer is:

evade

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

'miss' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'girl's round about the advertisement' is the wordplay.
'girl's round' becomes 'eve' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the advertisement' becomes 'ad' ('ad' can be a synonym of 'advertisement').
'eve' enclosing 'ad' is 'EVADE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for evade that I've seen before include "Dodge, stay clear of" , "Dodge, duck" , "Circumvent, dodge" , "Shun, escape" , "avoid answering" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
