Avoided quiet one in French home to the west (7)
I believe the answer is:
shunned
'avoided' is the definition.
(shunning is a kind of avoiding)
'quiet one in french home to the west' is the wordplay.
'quiet' becomes 'sh'.
'one in french' becomes 'un'.
'home' becomes 'den' (I've seen this before).
'to the west' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'den' in reverse letter order is 'ned'.
'sh'+'un'+'ned'='SHUNNED'
(Other definitions for shunned that I've seen before include "Boycotted and avoided" , "Cold-shouldered" , "Eschewed" , "expelled" , "Ostracised, steered clear of" .)
