sol

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

'being a god is' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'some consolation' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'SOL' is hidden within 'consolation'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sol that I've seen before include "Note, old french coin" , "Peruvian currency; Roman sun god" , "Spanish and poetic sun" , "Roman counterpart of Helios" , "The sun in 12 Across" .)
