God's part within the welfare state (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ares

'god's' is the definition.
(Greek god of war)

'part within the welfare state' is the wordplay.
'part' indicates a hidden word.
'ARES' can be found hidden inside 'within welfare state'.

(Other definitions for ares that I've seen before include "War-god" , "Olympian" , "Greek god of war" , "Land measures" , "figure of worship" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
