Scandinavians have catholic routines (6)
I believe the answer is:
dances
'routines' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'scandinavians have catholic' is the wordplay.
'scandinavians' becomes 'Danes' (people from Denmark).
'have' indicates putting letters inside.
'catholic' becomes 'C' (abbreviation as in RC for Roman Catholic).
'danes' going around 'c' is 'DANCES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dances that I've seen before include "Trips the light fantastic" , "Moves to music" , "Can-can, cha-cha etc" , "Eg, waltzes, tangos, etc" , "Balls" .)
