Nordic royal made old lady homeless (7)
I believe the answer is:
nomadic
'nordic royal' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'old lady homeless' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'old' could be 'o' (abbreviation) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'lady' could be 'adi' and 'adi' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'made' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nomadic that I've seen before include "Wandering from place to place, with no permanent home" , "Peripatetic" , "Unsettled" , "Drifting off" , "Lacking fixed home" .)
