Old girl heading for disaster with assorted males (6)
I believe the answer is:
damsel
'old girl' is the definition.
'damsel' can be an answer for 'girl'. I am unsure of the 'old' bit.
'heading for disaster with assorted males' is the wordplay.
'heading for' says to take the initial letters.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'assorted' is an anagram indicator.
The initial letter of 'disaster' is 'd'.
'males' anagrammed gives 'amsel'.
'd'+'amsel'='DAMSEL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for damsel that I've seen before include "Girl - type of fly" , "Young woman (often in distress)" , "An old girl, often in distress" , "Maiden (poetic)" , "Someone in distress?" .)
