European suspended, one deemed heretical (9)

Ross

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.
