Crossword Genius

See fit Scandinavian in conversation (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deign

'see fit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'scandinavian in conversation' is the wordplay.
'scandinavian' becomes 'dane' (I've seen this before).
'in conversation' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'dane' sounds like 'DEIGN'.

(Other definitions for deign that I've seen before include "Do something considered to be below one's dignity" , "Condescend; stoop" , "Be pleased" , "Think fit" , "See fit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
