Dont charge the French aristocrat (6)
I believe the answer is:
letoff
'dont charge' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'the french aristocrat' is the wordplay.
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'aristocrat' becomes 'toff' (toff can mean an upper-class person).
'le'+'toff'='LETOFF'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for letoff that I've seen is " Spare".)
I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
