Cambodia protected by approach of old goddess (4)
I believe the answer is:
nike
'goddess' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Goddess of victory ' mean 'nike' so perhaps 'goddess' could also mean 'nike')
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nike that I've seen before include "Goddess of victory - clothing company" , "bringer of victory" , "Greek goddess, personification of victory" , "Greek winged goddess of victory, and sports goods logo" , "Victoria" .)
