Sense European is pathetic (2,3)
I believe the answer is:
no use
'pathetic' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'sense european' is the wordplay.
'sense' becomes 'nous' (nous is a kind of sense).
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'nous'+'e'='NO USE'
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for no use that I've seen before include "Pointless" , "won't help?" , "Ineffectual" , "Futile" .)
