Scandinavian editor in chic setting (7)
I believe the answer is:
swedish
'scandinavian' is the definition.
(Sweden is in Scandinavia)
'editor in chic setting' is the wordplay.
'editor' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'chic setting' becomes 'swish' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ed' placed into 'swish' is 'SWEDISH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for swedish that I've seen before include "Like Abba" , "like Bergman" , "From Uppsala, perhaps" , "Nordic" , "He saw Miss Degas (anag) -- Scandinavian body work" .)
