Want naked setter's heavenly body? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angel

'heavenly body?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'want naked setter's' is the wordplay.
'naked' means to look at the middle letters (outside letters removed so centre is unclothed).
'setter' becomes 'gel' (something which sets).
The middle of 'want' is 'an'.
'an'+'gel'='ANGEL'

(Other definitions for angel that I've seen before include "Heavenly spirit" , "Old coin; theatre investor" , "Word linking cake and fish" , "Ministering spirit" , "Investor in a theatrical venture" .)
