Flneur openly taking in his surroundings, presumably (6)
I believe the answer is:
europe
'his surroundings presumably' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'flneur openly taking' is the wordplay.
'taking' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the answer is carried or taken by the clue).
'EUROPE' can be found hidden inside 'flneur openly'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for europe that I've seen before include "Union in popular parlance?" , "Britain, France etc" , "our part of the world" , "O, puree on the continent" , "Land mass from the Atlantic to the Urals" .)
