Portent (4)

I think it could be either:

omen

sign

'portent' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for omen that I've seen before include "Foreboding" , "Portent, prophetic sign" , "Sign of likely future event" , "Forewarning, harbinger" , "Event regarded as a prophetic sign of good or evil" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, The Guardian, The New York Times, The Star Tribune, the Penny Press, The Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, the King Feature Syndicate, The Mirror, the Evening Standard, The Independent, The Telegraph and The Wall Street Journal.
