Crossword Genius

Rum included in good diet (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

odd

'rum' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'included in good diet' is the wordplay.
'included in' indicates a hidden word.
'ODD' is hidden in the letters of 'good diet'.

(Other definitions for odd that I've seen before include "Peculiar in uneven way" , "Number not divisible by two" , "Not matching" , "Peculiar or unpaired" , "Strange, peculiar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
