Crossword Genius

Atmosphere of fate in revolution (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mood

'atmosphere' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fate in revolution' is the wordplay.
'fate' becomes 'doom' ('doom' can be a synonym of 'fate').
'in revolution' says the letters should be written backwards.
'doom' in reverse letter order is 'MOOD'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for mood that I've seen before include "Feeling of doom" , "Frame of mind" , "Emotional state" , "melancholy" , "State of mind, humour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
