Poor butcher with no time for angel (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cherub

'for angel' is the definition.
(cherub is a kind of angel)

'poor butcher with no time' is the wordplay.
'poor' indicates an anagram.
'with no' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'butcher' with 't' removed is 'bucher'.
'bucher' anagrammed gives 'CHERUB'.

(Other definitions for cherub that I've seen before include "A chubby infant with wings" , "Angelic child" , "goody-goody?" , "High-ranking angel" , "Little angel" .)
