Article from Le Monde, astute in dismissing English as a whole (5)
I believe the answer is:
uncut
'whole' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for uncut that I've seen before include "diamonds, originally" , "(Film) full length; (book) impossible to open" , "Like diamonds, initially" , "total" , "Not censored" .)
