European returning home in hurry (6)
I believe the answer is:
danish
'european' is the definition.
(from Denmark)
'returning home in hurry' is the wordplay.
'returning' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'hurry' becomes 'dash' (dashing is a kind of hurrying).
'in' reversed gives 'ni'.
'ni' put within 'dash' is 'DANISH'.
(Other definitions for danish that I've seen before include "Hamlet was and bacon may be" , "Dash in to the mysterious nationality" , "Scandinavian, pastry perhaps" , "Like Hamlet or bacon?" , "Pastry, from Copenhagen say" .)
