Foreign father receiving taunt against European parentage (8)
I believe the answer is:
pedigree
'parentage' is the definition.
('pedigree' can be a synonym of 'parentage')
'foreign father receiving taunt against european' is the wordplay.
'foreign father' becomes 'pere' (French for father).
'receiving' indicates putting letters inside.
'taunt' becomes 'dig'.
'against' says to put letters next to each other.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'pere' enclosing 'dig' is 'pedigre'.
'pedigre'+'e'='PEDIGREE'
(Other definitions for pedigree that I've seen before include "List of ancestors" , "Lineage, ancestry" , "Lineage of purebred animal" , "bloodline" , "Pure-bred animal's line of descent" .)
