Water nymph (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

naiad

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

This is the entire 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 Mirror, The Times, the King Feature Syndicate, The New York Times, the Evening Standard, The Guardian, the LA Times and The Wall Street Journal.
