God of youth, originally? (4)
I believe the answer is:
thor
'god' is the definition.
(Norse god of thunder)
'of youth originally?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'THOR' is hidden in the letters of 'youth originally'.
(Other definitions for thor that I've seen before include "Norse hammer-wielding god" , "Comic superhero" , "Norse god of war" , "Norse deity" , "Scandinavian thunder-god" .)
