Nutmeg spice (4)
I believe the answer is:
mace
'nutmeg spice' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for mace that I've seen before include "Ceremonial staff of office" , "Tear gas - spice" , "Ceremonial staff or kind of spice" , "Spiked club" , "Came to get ancient weapon" .)
