And so, sir, is it including the Egyptian god of the underworld? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

osiris

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

'the egyptian god of the underworld?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'and so sir is it' is the wordplay.
'OSIRIS' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.

'including' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for osiris that I've seen before include "dead judge?" , "one held to be divine" , "Egyptian god of the underworld" , "Egyptian deity" , "God, husband of Isis" .)
