An aid for a huntress? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

diana

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'huntress?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'an aid for a' is the wordplay.
'an aid for' becomes 'dian' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'dian'+'a'='DIANA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for diana that I've seen before include "British princess" , "Dame - Rigg, actress" , "Roman goddess of the hunt, or tragic English princess" , "Roman goddess of the moon and hunting" , ""The People's Princess"" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
