European country ignoring area wanting food (6)
I believe the answer is:
hungry
'wanting food' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'european country ignoring area' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'european' could be 'hun' (Hun is an example) and 'hun' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hungry that I've seen before include "In want of food" , "Short of food" , "hoping for a bite?" , "Desiring food" , "Feeling the need for food" .)
