European bird losing eye? Not quite (4)
I believe the answer is:
turk
'european' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for turk that I've seen before include "West Asian" , "Native of Izmir, perhaps" , "Ottoman" , "Native of Ankara, for example" , "impetuous as a youth" .)
