'is nimble and dainty yet' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'trips clumsily at one point' is the wordplay.
'clumsily' is an anagram indicator.
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'one point' becomes 'e' (compass point).
'trips' is an anagram of 'sprit'.
'sprit'+'e'='SPRITE'
