Good intentions involving god (4)
I believe the answer is:
odin
'god' is the definition.
(Odin is an example)
'good intentions involving' is the wordplay.
'involving' says the answer is hidden in the clue (I've seen 'involves' mean this).
'ODIN' is hidden in the letters of 'good intentions'.
(Other definitions for odin that I've seen before include "Old Scandinavian" , "In Scandinavian myth the supreme god and creator" , "an all-powerful one" , "Pagan god" , "mythological personage" .)
