Somehow win orange from Scandinavia (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

norwegian

'from scandinavia' is the definition.
(Norway is in Scandinavia)

'somehow win orange' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
'win'+'orange'='winorange'
'winorange' anagrammed gives 'NORWEGIAN'.

(Other definitions for norwegian that I've seen before include "Oddly, regain now the nationality" , "European" , "Grieg perhaps" , "like King Harald I" , "Northerner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
