A French male has comfort in anxiety (6)
I believe the answer is:
unease
'anxiety' is the definition.
(anxious or nervous condition)
'a french male has comfort' is the wordplay.
'a french male' becomes 'un' ('a' translated into French with masculine nouns).
'has' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'comfort' becomes 'ease' (synonyms).
'un'+'ease'='UNEASE'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for unease that I've seen before include "Disquiet" , "State of worry and lack of confidence" , "Discomfort or apprehension" , "Anxiety, discontent" , "State of anxiety" .)
