Young girl about whom there are contradictions (5)
I believe the answer is:
seven
'young' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'girl about whom there are contradictions' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'girl' could be 'eve' and 'eve' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seven that I've seen before include "Number of sisters in Sussex" , "Theme of exotic dance" , "Wonders of the World - Deadly Sins" , "Cube root of 343" , "Number of Wonders of the World" .)
