Water nymph (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

naiad

'water nymph' is the definition.
(naiad is a kind of water nymph)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for naiad that I've seen before include "Mythological water-nymph" , "divine female figure" , "Spring nymph" , "Nymph of lakes, springs and rivers" , "Fabulous spring being" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, The Times, the Evening Standard, the LA Times and The Wall Street Journal.
