Divine Comedy primarily lies, tale made up (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

celestial

'divine' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'comedy primarily lies tale made up' is the wordplay.
'primarily' suggests taking the first letters.
'made up' indicates anagramming the letters.
The first letter of 'comedy' is 'c'.
'lies'+'tale'='liestale'
'liestale' with letters rearranged gives 'elestial'.
'c'+'elestial'='CELESTIAL'

(Other definitions for celestial that I've seen before include "Relating to the heavens" , "Heavenly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
