Confuse Parsi and European (8)
I believe the answer is:
spaniard
'european' is the definition.
(someone from Spain)
'confuse parsi and' is the wordplay.
'confuse' is an anagram indicator.
'parsi'+'and'='parsiand'
'parsiand' with letters rearranged gives 'SPANIARD'.
(Other definitions for spaniard that I've seen before include "Slope-measuring instrument" , "Native of southern European country" , "Malaga man or woman, perhaps?" , "Person from Eurozone" , "European national" .)
