Ross

idol

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

'an object of worship' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'kriskross would look around' is the wordplay.
'kriskross' becomes 'i' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'would' becomes 'd' (I've seen this in other clues).
'look' becomes 'lo' (archaic term meaning 'look!').
'around' is a reversal indicator.
'lo' written backwards gives 'ol'.
'i'+'d'+'ol'='IDOL'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for idol that I've seen before include "False god" , "Worshipped figure (not painting); revered person" , "Effigy" , "Someone much loved" , "Graven image (sometimes false?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
