The answer is a single English word. Figure out the word and explain the clues.
Nature's God leads with legal men next.
Dichotomies joined like a page filled with text.
Add a digit to five, dot both i's with ink.
Announcers divided by that which should link.
Pour liquid on life's thread in a right to left track.
Sorrowful slumber when taken aback.
Hint:
