Elf or fairy (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sprite

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'elf' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'fairy' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for sprite that I've seen before include "Nimble elf-like creature - icon in computer game" , "Naiad" , "Elf, fairy" , "A fairy or goblin" , "Stripe on a fairy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post and The Times.
