Lacking young woman in Greece (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

missing

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

'lacking' is the definition.
(I know that lacking can be written as missing)

'young woman in greece' is the wordplay.
'young woman' becomes 'miss' (title for a young woman).
'greece' becomes 'g' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'miss'+'in'+'g'='MISSING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for missing that I've seen before include "Absent with location unknown" , "Not to be found" , "Lost without" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
