Sorry eggs John regularly takes Lord (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jehovah

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

'lord' is the definition.
('Jehovah' can be a synonym of 'lord')

'sorry eggs john regularly' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'eggs' could be 'ova' (I've seen this before) and 'ova' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'takes' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for jehovah that I've seen before include "Name of God in the Old Testament" , "Hebrew name of God" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
