A match for a goddess (5)
I believe the answer is:
vesta
This clue is a double definition.
'a match' is the first definition.
(type of historical wooden match)
'for a goddess' is the second definition.
(Roman goddess)
(Other definitions for vesta that I've seen before include "Roman goddess of the hearth" , "heavenly body" , "Asteroid; goddess; match" , "Roman goddess; match" , "Hearth goddess; a match" .)
