The answer

NYMPH

What nymph means

A mythological spirit or goddess associated with a particular place or natural feature, such as a tree, river, or mountain, typically depicted as a beautiful young woman.

Where the word comes from

From Greek *nymphē*, originally meaning "bride" or "young woman," later applied to the mythological semi-divine maidens. The Greeks may have connected it to *nymphos*, meaning "bridegroom," though the root sense likely relates to the idea of youthful femininity. The word entered Latin as *nympha*, then Old French *nimphe*, and finally Middle English *nymphe*. In modern usage, it also refers to the immature stage of certain insects.
