European, with Times, sat in the open (7)
I believe the answer is:
exposed
'in the open' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'european with times sat' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'E' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'times' becomes 'x' (multiplication sign).
'sat' becomes 'posed' ('pose' can be a synonym of 'sit').
'e'+'x'+'posed'='EXPOSED'
(Other definitions for exposed that I've seen before include "naked" , "Without cover" , "Showed up" , "With no protection or shield" , "Open to view" .)
