European heard in the end (6)
I believe the answer is:
finish
'the end' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'european heard' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'Finnish' (Finland is in Europe).
'heard' shows a homophone (sound like).
'finnish' sounds like 'FINISH'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for finish that I've seen before include "Culminate" , "Patina" , "Cease, conclude" , "Treatment of surface" , "Come to an end" .)
