Scandinavian to condescend to the audience (4)
I believe the answer is:
dane
'scandinavian' is the definition.
(person from Denmark)
'condescend to the audience' is the wordplay.
'condescend' becomes 'deign' (synonyms).
'to the audience' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'deign' is a homophone of 'DANE'.
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for dane that I've seen before include "European in Aden" , "Eg, Hamlet" , "See 7 Down" , "Great - - , dog" , "Hamlet, say" .)
