Empty a shed in European country (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hungry

'empty' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a shed in european country' is the wordplay.
'shed in' suggests deleting specific letters (shed can mean lose or cut away from).
'european country' becomes 'hungary' (Hungary is an example).
'hungary' with 'a' taken away is 'HUNGRY'.

(Other definitions for hungry that I've seen before include "Feeling the need for food" , "Needing to be fed" , "In need of nourishment" , "In want of food" , "Ravenous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
