Crossword Genius

Among non-science subjects, one the writer recalled is Divinity (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

artemis

'divinity' is the definition.
(Artemis is an example)

'among non-science subjects one the writer recalled' is the wordplay.
'among' indicates putting letters inside (I've seen this in other clues).
'non-science subjects' becomes 'arts' (I've seen this before).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'the writer' becomes 'me' (the person who is writing these clues).
'recalled' is a reversal indicator.
'i'+'me'='ime'
'ime' backwards is 'emi'.
'arts' enclosing 'emi' is 'ARTEMIS'.

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for artemis that I've seen before include "God" , "Cynthia" , "Head-hunter" , "Mythical Greek huntress" , "Olympian figure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
