Spirit delivers one from pain and hunger (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

panache

'spirit' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'one from pain and hunger' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'from' is a deletion indicator.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'hunger' becomes 'ache' (I've seen this in another clue).
'pain' with 'i' removed is 'pan'.
'pan'+'ache'='PANACHE'

'delivers' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for panache that I've seen before include "Swagger, grand manner" , "Brio - flair" , "Distinctive elegance" , "Sense of style, swagger" , "Style, elan" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
