Elflike priest, possibly? (6)
I believe the answer is:
sprite
'elf' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sprite that I've seen before include "Pet, sir, could be a goblin" , "sports car" , "Naiad" , "Brownie" , "Elf, fairy" .)
