Scandinavians heard in the fall? (5)
I believe the answer is:
lapse
'the fall?' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Moral fall ' mean 'lapse' so perhaps 'fall' could also mean 'lapse')
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lapse that I've seen before include "Negligence" , "Become void, expire" , "Pleas (anag)" , "Fall from grace" , "Slip-up" .)
