Collaborator who French support when injured (8)
I believe the answer is:
quisling
'collaborator' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'who french support when injured' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'support' could be 'sling' (sling is a type of support for member (ie an arm)) and 'sling' is present in the answer.
'who french' could be 'qui' ('who' in French) and 'qui' 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 quisling that I've seen before include "Traitor to country, after proNazi Norwegian" , "(Norwegian) WWII collaborator" , "Judas?" , "Collaborator with an occupying force" , "Wartime collaborator" .)
