European can come out of hospital, I announced (7)

I believe the answer is:

italian

'european' is the definition.
(Italian is an example)

'can come out of hospital i announced' is the wordplay.
'can come out of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ITALIAN' is hidden within 'hospital i announced'.

(Other definitions for italian that I've seen before include "of Verona?" , "Eg, one from Milan" , "From Rome, for example" , "Someone of 18 [ALESSANDRIA]" , "Romance language" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
