European in Paris and confused (8)
I believe the answer is:
spaniard
'european' is the definition.
(someone from Spain)
'paris and confused' is the wordplay.
'confused' indicates an anagram.
'paris'+'and'='parisand'
'parisand' with letters rearranged gives 'SPANIARD'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for spaniard that I've seen before include "Slope-measuring instrument" , "Native of southern European country" , "A native of Iberian country" , "Type mostly found in Madrid" , "Eg, a native of Madrid" .)
