European clue solved about name for critic (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
dutch uncle
'for critic' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Severe critic' mean 'dutch uncle' so perhaps 'critic' could also mean 'dutch uncle')
'european clue solved about name' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'dutch' (Netherlands is in Europe).
'solved' is an anagram indicator (the anagram must be solved).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'clue' is an anagram of 'ucle'.
'ucle' going around 'n' is 'uncle'.
'dutch'+'uncle'='DUTCH UNCLE'
(Other definitions for dutch uncle that I've seen before include "One firmly but kindly advising" , "Severe critic" , "who speaks frankly?" , "one giving a right earful" , "Someone giving firm and frank but good advice" .)
