Portent (4)

I think it could be either:

omen

sign

'portent' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for omen that I've seen before include "Foreboding" , "Portent, prophetic sign" , "Sign of likely future event" , "Forewarning, harbinger" , "Event regarded as a prophetic sign of good or evil" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate, The Guardian, The Sun, The Mirror, The Star Tribune, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Independent, the Evening Standard, The Telegraph and The Times.
