Crossword Genius

In Amsterdam, seldom finding young woman (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

damsel

'young woman' is the definition.
(damsel is a kind of young woman)

'in amsterdam seldom finding' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'DAMSEL' is hidden within 'amsterdam seldom finding'.

(Other definitions for damsel that I've seen before include "Young girl" , "Girl (literary)" , "Young lady of old, perhaps in distress" , "(Poetically) a young unmarried woman" , "Someone in distress?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
