Canine upset principal in Trinity (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

godhead

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

'canine upset principal' is the wordplay.
'canine' becomes 'dog' (dog is a kind of canine).
'upset' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'principal' becomes 'head' (synonyms).
'dog' written backwards gives 'god'.
'god'+'head'='GODHEAD'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for godhead that I've seen before include "deity" , "Had doge partaken or divine nature?" , "Creator" , "Trinity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
