Crossword Genius

Some get here, almost spiritual (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ethereal

'spiritual' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'some get here almost' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ETHEREAL' is hidden within 'get here almost'.

(Other definitions for ethereal that I've seen before include "Impalpable" , "Celestial; insubstantial" , "Very delicate - tale here (anag)" , "Insubstantial or heavenly" , "Refined, airy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
