European able to give avuncular advice? (8)
I believe the answer is:
dutchman
'european' is the definition.
(Dutchman is an example)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dutchman that I've seen before include "Wagner composed 'The Flying ........'" , "bolster his wife" , "Accursed Wagner character" , "Wagner's seafarer" , "Rembrandt, say" .)
