Drama from Norwegian of humble beginnings (3)
I believe the answer is:
noh
'drama' is the definition.
(Japanese drama)
'norwegian of humble beginnings' is the wordplay.
'beginnings' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'norwegian of humble' is 'NOH'.
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for noh that I've seen before include "Sort of drama" , "Traditional Japanese form of theatre" , "Japanese dramas" , "Arkwright" , "Traditional Japanese theatre, sounds negative" .)
