A way to research love god (6)
I believe the answer is:
apollo
'god' is the definition.
(Apollo is a Greek god)
'a way to research love' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'L' (abbreviation for left).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'research' becomes 'pol' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'l' after 'pol' is 'poll'.
'a'+'poll'+'o'='APOLLO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for apollo that I've seen before include "Handsome young man of Greek mythology" , "Greek sungod, son of Zeus" , "mission of high-flying Americans?" , "Greek god of light, poetry, music, healing and prophecy" , "Japanese dish" .)
