European type has cold bodyguard (6)
I believe the answer is:
escort
'bodyguard' is the definition.
('escort' can be a synonym of 'bodyguard')
'european type has cold' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'type' becomes 'sort' (I've seen this before).
'has' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'cold' becomes 'c' (eg on taps).
'sort' going around 'c' is 'scort'.
'e'+'scort'='ESCORT'
(Other definitions for escort that I've seen before include "restraint" , "Usher" , "Companion for social occasion" , "Go with (someone)" , "wheels?" .)
