Turnip (5)
I believe the answer is:
swede
'turnip' is the definition.
(I know that turnip can be written as swede)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for swede that I've seen before include "Foreigner" , "Someone from Gothenburg" , "Person like Strindberg" , "Scandinavian; root veg." , "Sort of turnip - one from Scandinavia?" .)
