elfish

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

'possibly mischievous' is the definition.
'elfish' can be an answer for 'mischievous' (synonyms). I am not certain of the 'possibly' bit.

'the spanish angle' is the wordplay.
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'angle' becomes 'fish' (synonyms).
'el'+'fish'='ELFISH'

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for elfish that I've seen before include "Mischievous" , "Tricky" .)
