Mountain nymph (5)

I believe the answer is:

oread

'mountain nymph' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for oread that I've seen before include "spirit at peak?" , "mountainous girl" , "classically beautiful girl" , "Maid of the Mountains" , "O dear, a strange mountain nymph" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, the Sydney Morning Herald and the LA Times.
