Draft of French notice (6)
I believe the answer is:
design
'draft' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'of french notice' is the wordplay.
'of french' becomes 'de' ('of' in French).
'notice' becomes 'sign' (I've seen this in another clue).
'de'+'sign'='DESIGN'
(Other definitions for design that I've seen before include "Pattern - plan" , "Blueprint, pattern" , "Blueprint, sketch" , "Devise, create, make out a plan" , "Purpose, pattern" .)
