'maybe' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'touch is awkward for anyone single' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'touch' could be 'finger' (fingering is a kind of touching) and 'finger' is present in the answer.
'single' could be 'one' (synonyms) and 'one' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'layson' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
