Ross

I believe the answer is:

thor

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'the god' is the first definition.
(Thor is an example)

'a wild northern part' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thor that I've seen before include "Son of Odin and Freya" , "Norse god wielding a hammer" , "Norse god of war" , "Norse god for whom Thursday is named" , "Imitative artistic work" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
