Staff become tired with European (8)
I believe the answer is:
flagpole
'staff' is the definition.
(I know that Flagpole is a type of staff)
'become tired with european' is the wordplay.
'become tired' becomes 'flag' (to flag is to get tired or exhausted).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'european' becomes 'pole' (someone from Poland).
'flag'+'pole'='FLAGPOLE'
(Other definitions for flagpole that I've seen before include "Mast on which banner is hoist" , "means to raise standard" , "standard-bearer" , "Ceremonial mast" , "On which standard flies" .)
