'lower part of bod' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both body parts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'so be it about odd bod' is the wordplay.
'so be it' becomes 'amen' (I've seen this in another clue).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'odd' indicates an anagram.
'bod' is an anagram of 'bdo'.
'amen' going around 'bdo' is 'ABDOMEN'.

'or' is the link.
