Are French invading armies a provider of entertainment? (7)
I believe the answer is:
hostess
'a provider of entertainment?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'are french invading armies' is the wordplay.
'are french' becomes 'es' ('are' in French).
'invading' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'armies' becomes 'hosts' (host is a kind of army).
'es' going inside 'hosts' is 'HOSTESS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hostess that I've seen before include "Female party-giver" , "Aircraft stewardess" , "Woman employed by a nightclub" , "Mistress of ceremonies" , "who welcomes guests?" .)
