See fit European in conversation? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deign

'see fit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'european in conversation?' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'Dane' (someone from Denmark).
'in conversation?' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (I've seen 'in conversation' mean this).
'dane' sounds like 'DEIGN'.

(Other definitions for deign that I've seen before include "See fit" , "Do something considered to be below one's dignity" , "consent" , "Think appropriate" , "Condescend; stoop" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
