Supposed Minoan funny lady... (7)

I believe the answer is:

nominal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'supposed' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'minoan funny lady' is the wordplay.
'funny' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lady' becomes 'l' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'minoan' is an anagram of 'nomina'.
'nomina'+'l'='NOMINAL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nominal that I've seen before include "So called" , "not real" , "Theoretical - token" , "trifling" , "In name only or of token value (7)" .)
