Crossword Genius

Wonderful to eat around four (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

divine

'wonderful' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'eat around four' is the wordplay.
'eat' becomes 'dine' (dining is a kind of eating).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'four' becomes 'iv' ('IV' can be a synonym of 'four').
'dine' placed around 'iv' is 'DIVINE'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for divine that I've seen before include "of a splendid nature" , "'To err is human, to forgive . . . . . .'" , "Supreme" , "Sacred; excellent" , "Search for water with a rod" .)
