I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'god?' is the definition.
(Odin is an example)

'a brooding' is the wordplay.
'ODIN' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for odin that I've seen before include "Mythological Norse deity" , "Supreme Norse deity" , "Old Scandinavian" , "an all-powerful one" , "In Scandinavian myth the supreme god and creator" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
