Deity from hot area acts without love (5)
I believe the answer is:
hades
'deity' is the definition.
(Hades is an example)
'hot area acts without love' is the wordplay.
'hot area' becomes 'ha' (this might be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'acts' becomes 'does' (I've seen this in other clues).
'without' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'love' becomes 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero').
'does' with 'o' taken away is 'des'.
'ha'+'des'='HADES'
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hades that I've seen before include "A place of some darkness" , "Mythological abode of the dead" , "Pluto" , "Greek god of the underworld" , "The nether world, hell" .)
