Crossword Genius

A nurse of spirit? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angel

I believe this is a double definition.

'a nurse' is the first definition.
(angel can informally mean a nurse)

'spirit?' is the second definition.
(I know that angel is a type of spirit)

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for angel that I've seen before include "one might be recording" , "One backing theatre production" , "Glean (anag.)" , "Heavenly messenger" , "Seraph or cherub?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
