False god (4)
I believe the answer is:
idol
'false god' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for idol that I've seen before include "Object of excessive love or devotion" , "Person who is the object of intense admiration as by fan club" , "Images of devotion" , "Who's greatly respected" , "Admired figure" .)
