A French-German article on the advantaged is really poor
I believe the answer is:
underprivileged
'poor' is the definition.
('underprivileged' is associated in meaning with 'poor')
'a french-german article on the advantaged is really' is the subsidiary indication.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'german' could be 'und' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'und' is present in the answer.
'on' could be 'leg' (cricket term, fielding positions) and 'leg' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for underprivileged that I've seen before include "no advantages" , "In need" , "Poor" .)
