Unattached girl's holiday island (8)

I believe the answer is:

discrete

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

'unattached' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'girl's holiday island' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'girl's' could be 'dis' (Di is short for Diana) and 'dis' is present in the answer.
'island' could be 'crete' (Greek island) and 'crete' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for discrete that I've seen before include "Secret ID (anag) - separate" , "Separated" , "Individually distinct, discontinuous" , "Individual" , "Unattached" .)
