European eaten by wolf in Newfoundland (4)
I believe the answer is:
finn
'european' is the definition.
(Finn is an example)
'eaten by wolf in newfoundland' is the wordplay.
'eaten by' indicates a hidden word.
'FINN' is hidden in the letters of 'wolf in newfoundland'.
(Other definitions for finn that I've seen before include "Trollope character" , "National" , "Someone from Turku" , "Nationality of a citizen of Helsinki" , "Sibelius, perhaps" .)
