Scandinavian, for example, introducing an Irish literary name (8)
I believe the answer is:
finnegan
'irish literary name' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'scandinavian for example introducing an' is the wordplay.
'scandinavian' becomes 'finn' (I've seen this before).
'for example' becomes 'e.g.' (short for 'exempli gratia', 'for example' in Latin).
'introducing' says to put letters next to each other (some letters go before others).
'finn'+'eg'+'an'='FINNEGAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for finnegan that I've seen is " His Wake (Joyce)".)
