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