What God apparently did for senior member of the Mafia (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
made man
'what god apparently' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'did for senior member of the mafia' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'did' could be 'made' ('make' can be a synonym of 'do') and 'made' is located in the answer.
'member' could be 'm' (political abbreviation) and 'm' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'an' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
