Europeans weren't admitting solution (6)
I believe the answer is:
answer
'solution' is the definition.
(I know that solution can be written as answer)
'europeans weren't admitting' is the wordplay.
'admitting' says the answer is hidden in the clue (I've seen 'admitted' mean this).
'ANSWER' is hidden within 'europeans werent'.
(Other definitions for answer that I've seen before include "It could give you a" , "Respond" , "'A soft . . . . . . turneth away wrath'" , "'Daisy, Daisy, give me your ...... do'" , "fit" .)
