Outstanding feature about the King of Norway? (5)
I believe the answer is:
norse
'king of norway?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'outstanding feature about' is the wordplay.
'outstanding' becomes 'r' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'feature' becomes 'nose' (a facial feature).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'r' put inside 'nose' is 'NORSE'.
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for norse that I've seen before include "Of old Scandinavia" , "Viking" , "Relating to ancient Scandinavia" , "Native to Scandinavia" , "Old form of Norwegian" .)
