Go green, ringing fearsome individual (4)
I believe the answer is:
ogre
'ringing fearsome individual' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'go green' is the wordplay.
'OGRE' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am not sure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ogre that I've seen before include "stern one who inspires fear" , "The giant is some goer" , "Terrifying giant" , "Human-eating giant" , "man-eater" .)
