I believe the answer is:

mesdemoiselles

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

'nancy misses' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'leo seems misled after bust-up' is the wordplay.
'leo seems misled' anagrams to 'MESDEMOISELLES'.
Though, I am not clear how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for mesdemoiselles that I've seen is " Nancy misses".)
