Minor dictionary contains Scandinavian (6)
I believe the answer is:
nordic
'scandinavian' is the definition.
(I know that scandinavian can be written as Nordic)
'minor dictionary contains' is the wordplay.
'contains' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'NORDIC' is hidden in the letters of 'minor dictionary'.
(Other definitions for nordic that I've seen before include "Relating to tall fair people of N Germany" , "Type of cross-country ski racing" , "Of tall, fair Germanic people" , "'Of Scandinavia, Finland and Iceland (6)'" , "characters are tall and blond" .)
