Calm, points to Frenchman (6)
I believe the answer is:
serene
'calm' is the definition.
('serene' can be a synonym of 'calm')
'points to frenchman' is the wordplay.
'points' becomes 'se'.
'to frenchman' becomes 'rene'.
'se'+'rene'='SERENE'
(Other definitions for serene that I've seen before include "Peaceful and calm in manner" , "Calm, peaceful, tranquil" , "Totally unagitated" , "Peaceful and unruffled" , "without any trouble" .)
