Deity or nymph of the woods (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dryad

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'deity' is the first definition.
(I know that dryad is a type of nymph)

'nymph of the woods' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for dryad that I've seen before include "Nymph of trees" , "Nymph of the woods" , "butterfly" , "minor divinity" , "one stuck in a tree" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
