English can, in French street, find escort (7)
I believe the answer is:
retinue
'escort' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'english can in french street' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'can' becomes 'tin' ('tin' can be a synonym of 'can').
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'french street' becomes 'rue' (French for street or road).
'e'+'tin'='etin'
'etin' going within 'rue' is 'RETINUE'.
'find' is the link.
(Other definitions for retinue that I've seen before include "Suite - train" , "VIP's attendants" , "Group of servants with important person" , "Figure out" , "Body of attendants" .)
