Embodiment or perfect example (7)
I believe the answer is:
epitome
This clue is a double definition.
'embodiment' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'perfect example' is the second definition.
(the epitome of a thing is a perfect example of it)
(Other definitions for epitome that I've seen before include "Typical example, prototype" , "Perfect example of a quality" , "Abstract" , "ie Tempo (anag.)" , "Paradigm" .)
