European throws glance at English style (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elegance

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

'european throws glance at english' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'E' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'throws' is an anagram indicator.
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'glance' with letters rearranged gives 'leganc'.
'e'+'leganc'+'e'='ELEGANCE'

(Other definitions for elegance that I've seen before include "Refinement - grace" , "Fine quality" , "Style; refinement" , "Refinement in taste and dress" , "Gracefulness" .)
