Treetop adornment (5)

I believe the answer is:

angel

(Other definitions for angel that I've seen before include "backer for rep" , "Spiritual being - financial backer" , "Christmas tree decoration" , "Person of beauty, purity or kindness?" , "Divine messenger" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
