Smell from ram or another returning (5)
I believe the answer is:
aroma
'smell' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'from ram or another returning' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'returning' says the letters should be written backwards.
'amora' is hidden in the letters of 'ram or another'.
'amora' written backwards gives 'AROMA'.
(Other definitions for aroma that I've seen before include "particular charm" , "Distinctive odour" , "Pervasive atmosphere" , "Savour" , "A pleasant smell as of food" .)
