Portent (4)

I think it could be either:

omen

sign

'portent' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for omen that I've seen before include "Foreboding" , "Portent, prophetic sign" , "Sign of likely future event" , "Forewarning, harbinger" , "Event regarded as a prophetic sign of good or evil" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, the Evening Standard, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Independent, The New York Times, The Sun, the Penny Press, The Wall Street Journal, The Mirror, The Times, The Telegraph, the King Feature Syndicate and The Guardian.
