As paid to a Scandinavian going to the capital of Denmark? (4)
I believe the answer is:
dole
'as paid to a scandinavian' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'going to the capital of denmark?' is the wordplay.
'going' becomes 'ole' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'the capital of' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'denmark' is 'd'.
'ole' after 'd' is 'DOLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dole that I've seen before include "Unemployment pay" , "Kansas senator and 1996 presidential candidate, Bob" , "State benefit (colloq.)" , "State assistance" , "Informal word for unemployment assistance" .)
