'curdle' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'deity has edges of banana' is the wordplay.
'deity' becomes 'god' (a deity is a god or divine being).
'has' indicates putting letters inside.
'edges of' suggests removing the centre.
'banana' with its middle taken out is 'ba'.
'god' enclosing 'ba' is 'GOBAD'.
