Almost in Norway before the due time (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nearly

'almost' is the definition.
('nearly' can be a synonym of 'almost')

'norway before the due time' is the wordplay.
'norway' becomes 'n'.
'before the due time' becomes 'early' (I've seen this before).
'n'+'early'='NEARLY'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for nearly that I've seen before include "Almost, well-nigh" , "Noon at eleven fifty nine am" , "parsimoniously" , "Not entirely" , "Close" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
