Land in European country (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

estate

'land' is the definition.
(I know that land can be written as estate)

'european country' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'country' becomes 'state' (synonyms).
'e'+'state'='ESTATE'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for estate that I've seen before include "What you leave when you die" , "Person's belongings after death" , "Property left at death" , "(see 1)" , "A group of buildings built together in one development" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
