European abandoning loud hostelry (3)
I believe the answer is:
inn
'hostelry' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'european abandoning loud' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'Finn' (someone from Finland).
'abandoning' is a deletion indicator.
'loud' becomes 'f' (short for forte - 'loud' in music).
'finn' with 'f' taken away is 'INN'.
(Other definitions for inn that I've seen before include "watering-hole" , "Gray's, Lincoln's" , "Swiss river" , "Hostelry, tavern" , "Roadhouse" .)
