In age erect, perhaps, but still a relatively young woman (5-5)
I believe the answer is:
great-niece
'a relatively young woman' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in age erect perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'age'+'erect'='inageerect'
'inageerect' with letters rearranged gives 'GREAT-NIECE'.
'but still' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
