Get European to record young leader giving speech (6)
I believe the answer is:
eulogy
'speech' is the definition.
(speech at a funeral)
'get european to record young leader' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'european' could be 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU) and 'e' is present in the answer.
'record' could be 'log' (log is a kind of record) and 'log' is found in the answer.
'young' could be 'y' and 'y' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'u' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'giving' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eulogy that I've seen before include "Expression of praise for someone recently dead" , "Funeral oration" , "Formally expressed praise" , "Formal expression of praise" , "parting words?" .)
