Goddess (5)
I believe the answer is:
nymph
'goddess' is the definition.
(I know that nymph is a type of goddess)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for nymph that I've seen before include "Maiden of myth" , "Mythological spirit of nature imagined as a beautiful maiden" , "Beauty -- young larva" , "Demigoddess" , "Goddess - larval form" .)
