Fan in from France on Thursday is coming up a street (10)

I believe the answer is:

enthusiast

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fan' is the definition.
(I know that fan can be written as enthusiast)

'in from france on thursday is coming up a street' is the wordplay.
'in from france' becomes 'en' ('in' in French).
'on thursday' becomes 'thu' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'coming up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (in a down clue, letters go up).
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'is' reversed gives 'si'.
'en'+'thu'+'si'+'a'+'st'='ENTHUSIAST'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enthusiast that I've seen before include "buff" , "Fan" , "One deeply interested in a subject" , "one not at all cool" , "Devotee" .)
