Old maid? (7)
(Other definitions for damosel that I've seen before include "Old term for young woman" , "Maiden, in poetry" .)
This clue could be a double definition.
'old' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'maid?' is the second definition.
