Archangel good airy spirit shielding bishop (7)
I believe the answer is:
gabriel
'archangel' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'good airy spirit shielding bishop' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'airy spirit' becomes 'ariel' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'airy' bit.).
'shielding' is an insertion indicator.
'bishop' becomes 'B' (chess abbreviation).
'ariel' going around 'b' is 'abriel'.
'g'+'abriel'='GABRIEL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gabriel that I've seen before include "Angel of Annunciation" , "Trumpet-playing archangel who heralded good news" , "The angel with a trumpet" , "Man'" , "Boy" .)
