Obscure Europeans hoard bits of film (7)
I believe the answer is:
eclipse
'obscure' is the definition.
(eclipsing is a kind of obscuring)
'europeans hoard bits of film' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'bits of film' could be 'clips' (film clips) and 'clips' is present in the answer.
'europeans' could be 'ee' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ee' is located in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eclipse that I've seen before include "Blot out" , "period of darkness" , "Shadowing of sun, etc" , "Throw into obscurity, perhaps the sun" , "Heavenly phenomenon" .)
