Yearn for girl (4)

I believe the answer is:

miss

I believe this is a double definition.

'yearn for' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'girl' is the second definition.
(term of address for an unmarried woman)

(Other definitions for miss that I've seen before include "Fail to perceive" , "Fail to meet - girl" , "Single girl" , "Strike noisily; criticise" , "Young woman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
