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

'coarse girl' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'nowadays allow out the heartless' is the wordplay.
'nowadays' becomes 'AD' (AD, Anno Domini, as opposed to BC, Before Christ).
'allow' becomes 'let' (synonyms).
'out' is an insertion indicator.
'heartless' suggests removing the centre.
'the' with its middle taken out is 'te'.
'ad' placed inside 'let' is 'ladet'.
'ladet'+'te'='LADETTE'
