A place the French are about sick of? (5)
I believe the answer is:
lille
'a place' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'the french are about sick of?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'sick' could be 'ill' (similar in meaning) and 'ill' is present in the answer.
'the french' could be 'le' ('the' in French) and 'le' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lille that I've seen before include "N. French city" , "Feeling unwell in the French town" , "Stop before Paris" , "European city" , "City of N. France" .)
