Divine cleared by device that measures divinity (7)
I believe the answer is:
demeter
'measures divinity' is the definition.
'Demeter' can be an answer for 'divinity' (Demeter is an example). I am not sure about the 'measures' bit.
'divine cleared by device' is the wordplay.
'cleared' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (the inside letters are cleared out).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'device' becomes 'meter' (meter is a kind of device).
'divine' with its centre removed is 'de'.
'de'+'meter'='DEMETER'
'that' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for demeter that I've seen before include "Ancient Greek deity of fertility" , "Divine female" , "Olympian" , "Greek goddess of agriculture" , "Greek goddess of fertility - metered (anag)" .)
