European? This could be French (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

polish

I believe this is a double definition.

'european?' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'this could be french' is the second definition.
(French polish is a type of wood finish)

(Other definitions for polish that I've seen before include "See 1" , "Buff - from Poland" , "Substance used to produce shine" , "Language (linked to spitting?)" , "Shine for a European" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
