Some skiing icon wandering around road (6)
I believe the answer is:
nordic
'some skiing' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'icon wandering around road' is the wordplay.
'wandering' indicates an anagram.
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'road' becomes 'rd' (abbreviation).
'icon' is an anagram of 'noic'.
'noic' enclosing 'rd' is 'NORDIC'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nordic that I've seen before include "Relating to tall fair people of N Germany" , "Relating to a people of Scandinavia" , "Relating to Germanic people of N Europe, tall and blonde" , "Race of people in Scandinavia" , "Of tall, fair Germanic people" .)
