Remit as arranged by deity (7)
I believe the answer is:
artemis
'deity' is the definition.
(Artemis is an example)
'remit as arranged' is the wordplay.
'arranged' indicates an anagram (letters rearranged).
'remit'+'as'='remitas'
'remitas' with letters rearranged gives 'ARTEMIS'.
'by' is the link.
(Other definitions for artemis that I've seen before include "female Olympian" , "Twin sister of Apollo" , "Head-hunter" , "Greek huntress goddess" , "Diana" .)
