Brooding about Thors father (4)
I believe the answer is:
odin
'thors father' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'brooding about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates a hidden word (the clue goes around or about the answer).
'ODIN' is hidden in the letters of 'brooding'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for odin that I've seen before include "Chief Norse god" , "Scandinavian war god" , "who's worshipped" , "Legendary ruler" , "Old Scandinavian" .)
