The brooding god? (4)
I believe the answer is:
odin
'god?' is the definition.
(Norse god)
'the brooding' is the wordplay.
'ODIN' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for odin that I've seen before include "Chief Norse god" , "Supreme Norse deity" , "Old Scandinavian" , "I nod to the Norse deity" , "Mythological Norse god of war" .)
