Airy-fairy? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sylph

'airy-fairy?' is the definition.
(a sylph is an imaginary spirit of the air)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sylph that I've seen before include "Graceful lass" , "Girl with slender figure" , "slender lass!" , "Imaginary (female) being" , "Slim female" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
