European does snore badly (5)
I believe the answer is:
norse
'european' is the definition.
(Norse is an example)
'snore badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates an anagram.
'snore' is an anagram of 'NORSE'.
'does' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for norse that I've seen before include "Of old Scandinavia" , "Ancient Scandinavian language" , "Family of Germanic languages spoken in Scandinavia and Iceland" , "Old form of Norwegian" , "Old Scandinavian tongue" .)
