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

This might be a double definition.

'she's' is the first definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'diametric opposition' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for maid that I've seen before include "- - -of-all-work" , "Young woman - servant" , "One in service" , "Serving girl" , "daughter?" .)
