Scandinavians displaying no forte, the boozers (4)
I believe the answer is:
inns
'boozers' is the definition.
'scandinavians displaying no forte' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'no' could be 'n' (common abbreviation) and 'n' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ins' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inns that I've seen before include "Places of rest and sustenance for travellers" , "Old hostelries or pubs" , "Hotels" , "More than one pub" , "Country taverns" .)
