European' could be 'French (6)
I believe the answer is:
norman
I believe this is a double definition.
'european' is the first definition.
(Norman is an example)
'be french' is the second definition.
(Normandy is a part of France)
'could' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for norman that I've seen before include "Boy's name" , "Person from France" , "British comedian, once a cult figure in Albania, d. 2010" , "he invaded England" , "Romanesque architectural style" .)
