One of no importance to Oscar Wilde? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

woman

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

'oscar wilde?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'one of no importance' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'one' could be 'an' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'an' is present in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for woman that I've seen before include "Lady" , "person not going on stag-night" , "Adult female" , "Mature female" , "See 16" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
