odin

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

'god?' is the definition.
(Norse god)

'the brooding' is the wordplay.
'ODIN' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for odin that I've seen before include "Chief Norse god" , "Supreme Norse deity" , "Old Scandinavian" , "I nod to the Norse deity" , "Mythological Norse god of war" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
