Portia's lady-in-waiting in The Merchant of Venice (7)

I believe the answer is:

nerissa

(Other definitions for nerissa that I've seen before include "One working for Portia" , "Portia's attendant" , "Lawyer's clerk apparently" , "Serving maid" , "Girl from Belmont" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
