psyche

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'spirit' is the definition.
(psyche is a kind of spirit)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for psyche that I've seen before include "Human soul - Cupid's beloved" , "Princess beloved by Cupid" , "The soul, spirit or mind" , "Soul; Cupid loved her" , "Eros's beloved" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
