Barest essentials needed for superhuman being (4)
I believe the answer is:
ares
'superhuman being' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'barest essentials needed' is the wordplay.
'ARES' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ares that I've seen before include "Belligerent god" , "figure of worship" , "Olympian" , "Greek god of war" , "Land measures" .)
