Persian sprite (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peri

'persian sprite' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for peri that I've seen before include "Supernatural being in Persian folklore" , "Old Persian fairy" , "A vision of loveliness" , "Fairy (Pers. mythology)" , "Fairy of Persian myth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
