European newspaper cuttings editor's hidden (8)

I believe the answer is:

eclipsed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hidden' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'european newspaper cuttings editor's' is the wordplay.
'european newspaper' becomes 'e' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'cuttings' becomes 'clips' (clip is a kind of cutting).
'editor' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'e'+'clips'+'ed'='ECLIPSED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eclipsed that I've seen before include "Obscured as by heavenly body" , "Overshadowed" , "Hidden" , "Surpassed - led epics (anag)" , "Deprived of prominence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
