False god (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idol

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

This is the entire 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 Universal, The Telegraph, The Sunday Times, The Star Tribune, The Times, The New York Times and the Penny Press.
