European suspended, one deemed heretical (9)
I believe the answer is:
hungarian
'european' is the definition.
(Hungarian is an example)
'suspended one deemed heretical' is the wordplay.
'suspended' becomes 'hung' (I've seen this before).
'one deemed heretical' becomes 'arian' (Arianism is a Christian denomination).
'hung'+'arian'='HUNGARIAN'
(Another definition for hungarian that I've seen is " European".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
