Equipment given to European, a highly-strung sort beset by wind? (4)
I believe the answer is:
kite
'a highly-strung sort beset by wind?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'equipment given to european' is the wordplay.
'equipment' becomes 'kit' (kit is a kind of equipment).
'given to' says to put letters next to each other.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'kit'+'e'='KITE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kite that I've seen before include "A flying toy or sea bird" , "Flying toy or kind of hawk" , "Toy; aircraft (dated)" , "Winger" , "One's flown" .)
