Greek agricultural goddess (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

demeter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'goddess' is the definition.
(I know that Demeter is a goddess)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for demeter that I've seen before include "Divine female" , "Olympian" , "Greek goddess of fertility - metered (anag)" , "Ancient Greek deity of fertility" , "Greek goddess of agriculture" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
