National leaders in Denmark are never elected (4)
I believe the answer is:
dane
'national' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'leaders in denmark are never elected' is the wordplay.
'leaders in' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letters of 'denmark are never elected' is 'DANE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dane that I've seen before include "Eg, Copenhagen native" , "invader once" , "European in Aden" , "Hamlet, say" , "Eg, Hamlet" .)
