Spiritual being to evolve in a couple of ways? (9)
I believe the answer is:
archangel
'spiritual being' is the definition.
(archangel is a kind of spiritual being)
'evolve in a couple of ways?' is the wordplay.
'evolve' becomes 'change'.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'couple of ways?' becomes 'rl' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a'+'rl'='arl'
'change' inserted within 'arl' is 'ARCHANGEL'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for archangel that I've seen before include "Raphael, say" , "Divine messenger - Russian port" , "Port in northern Russia, or senior heavenly messenger" , "Raphael, perhaps" , "Most important of divine messengers" .)
