False god (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idol

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for idol that I've seen before include "Object of excessive love or devotion" , "Person who is the object of intense admiration as by fan club" , "Images of devotion" , "Who's greatly respected" , "Admired figure" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the Penny Press, the Universal, The Sunday Times, The Times, The Telegraph and The Star Tribune.
