What Guevara's masseur provided for angel? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cherub

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

'for angel?' is the definition.
(cherub is a kind of angel)

'what guevara's masseur' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'guevara' could be 'che' (revolutionary Che Guevara) and 'che' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'rub' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'provided' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cherub that I've seen before include "Sweet little baby" , "A chubby infant with wings" , "Little angel" , "A heavenly baby" , "Angel shown as a winged child" .)
