European and Scotsman chasing after Italian (8)
I believe the answer is:
romanian
'european' is the definition.
(Romanian is an example)
'scotsman chasing after italian' is the wordplay.
'scotsman' becomes 'ian' (common Scottish name).
'chasing after' says to put letters next to each other.
'italian' becomes 'Roman' (someone from Rome).
'ian' after 'roman' is 'ROMANIAN'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for romanian that I've seen before include "Nationality of citizen of Bucharest" , "European" , "One from Bucharest" , "Native to Bucharest, say" .)
