Ring given to male, one with common sense, being threatening (7)
I believe the answer is:
ominous
'being threatening' is the definition.
('ominous' can be a synonym of 'threatening')
'ring given to male one with common sense' is the wordplay.
'ring given' becomes 'o' (letter resembling a ring. I am not sure about the 'given' bit.).
'to male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'common sense' becomes 'nous' (nous is a kind of common sense).
'o'+'m'+'i'+'nous'='OMINOUS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ominous that I've seen before include "US moon I find threatening" , "Threatening, not looking good" , "Threatening, looks bad" , "Forbidding" , "Threatening, doesn't look good" .)
