Goddess taking credit for a crisis (4)
I believe the answer is:
isis
'goddess' is the definition.
(Egyptian god)
'credit for a crisis' is the wordplay.
'ISIS' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.
'taking' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for isis that I've seen before include "To be, to be an Egyptian goodess" , "Mrs Osiris" , "Old Egyptian fertility goddess" , "where one might take a punt" , "Oxford's second eight" .)
