Central European singer regularly embracing sweetheart (7)
I believe the answer is:
slovene
'central european' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'singer regularly embracing sweetheart' is the wordplay.
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'embracing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'sweetheart' becomes 'love' (both are terms of address to romantic partner).
The alternate letters of 'singer' are 'sne'.
'sne' going around 'love' is 'SLOVENE'.
(Other definitions for slovene that I've seen before include "Central European" , "One from Ljubljana" , "Southern European" , "Language" , "Native of Ljubljana" .)
