'delilah' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'in french bank caught making entrance' is the wordplay.
'in french' becomes 'en' ('in' in French).
'bank' becomes 'tier' (both can mean a row of similar things).
'caught' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'making entrance' becomes 'c' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'tier' going around 'c' is 'ticer'.
'en'+'ticer'='ENTICER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enticer that I've seen before include "temptress?" , "Who offers temptation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
