A nymph in the chorus (4)
I believe the answer is:
echo
'a nymph' is the definition.
(figure of Greek myth)
'in the chorus' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ECHO' is hidden within 'the chorus'.
(Other definitions for echo that I've seen before include "Reverberate - nymph spurned by Narcissus" , "Close imitation" , "Reminder" , "What evokes memories" , "Imitate -- a nymph" .)
