Mood affected destiny (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

doom

'destiny' is the definition.
(doom is a kind of destiny)

'mood affected' is the wordplay.
'affected' indicates anagramming the letters.
'mood' anagrammed gives 'DOOM'.

(Other definitions for doom that I've seen before include "Condemn (to certain death?)" , "Terrible fate; death" , "Mood for damnation" , "Bad destiny" , "Fate; ruin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
