European pal describing an issue (7)
I believe the answer is:
emanate
'issue' is the definition.
(both can mean to give out or radiate)
'european pal describing an' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'E' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'pal' becomes 'mate' (both can mean a friend).
'describing' means one lot of letters goes inside another (describe can mean to form the outline of).
'mate' going around 'an' is 'manate'.
'e'+'manate'='EMANATE'
(Other definitions for emanate that I've seen before include "Issue or originate from manatee" , "Emerge or originate" , "Issue or spread out from a source" , "spring" , "Flow or proceed from" .)
