Detach page following French article, for example (5)
I believe the answer is:
unpeg
'detach' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'page following french article for example' is the wordplay.
'page' becomes 'p'.
'following' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'french article' becomes 'un' (indefinite article in French).
'for example' becomes 'e.g.' (short for 'exempli gratia', 'for example' in Latin).
'p' put after 'un' is 'unp'.
'unp'+'eg'='UNPEG'
(Other definitions for unpeg that I've seen before include "no longer freeze" , "free" , "Take down from the line" , "Detach" , "Remove (clothes from a washing line)" .)
