Airy torch, for one (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

light

This clue is a double definition.

'airy' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'torch for one' is the second definition.
(I know that flashlight is a type of portable light source)

(Other definitions for light that I've seen before include "Person of authority" , "Frivolous -- insubstantial" , "weighing relatively little" , "Beam" , "guide in the dark" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
