'developed' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with fundamental existence as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'new material with european brought to fore' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'n'.
'material with' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters provide the material for a new word).
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'brought to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'fore' becomes 'sued' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'n' with its letters anagrammed with 'e' gives 'en'.
'en'+'sued'='ENSUED'
