Attractive European's bearing? (8,4)
I believe the answer is:
magnetic pole
'bearing?' is the definition.
(compass bearing)
'attractive european's' is the wordplay.
'attractive' becomes 'magnetic' (synonyms).
'european' becomes 'pole' (someone from Poland).
'magnetic'+'pole'='MAGNETIC POLE'
(Other definitions for magnetic pole that I've seen before include "Compass points to it" , "a point far from home" .)
