Mythical spirit of nature (5)

I believe the answer is:

nymph

(Other definitions for nymph that I've seen before include "beautiful girl" , "Larva of aquatic insect" , "Dragonfly larva" , "Minor goddess of nature" , "Semi-divine maiden associated with nature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
