Woodland god threw trays (5)
I believe the answer is:
satyr
'woodland god' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'threw trays' is the wordplay.
'threw' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'throws' mean this).
'trays' is an anagram of 'SATYR'.
(Other definitions for satyr that I've seen before include "Chaser of wine and women" , "Mythological woodland deity" , "Woodland man-goat god" , "Goat-man attending Bacchus" , "Pursuer of nymph" .)
