God right to abandon French sculptor (4)
I believe the answer is:
odin
'god' is the definition.
(Norse god)
'right to abandon french sculptor' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'to abandon' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'french sculptor' becomes 'rodin' (I've seen this before).
'rodin' with 'r' taken away is 'ODIN'.
(Other definitions for odin that I've seen before include "who's worshipped" , "Legendary Scandinavian" , "an all-powerful one" , "I nod to the Norse deity" , "Mythological Norse god of war" .)
