Fanatical compiler embraces a woman in Paris (6)
I believe the answer is:
madame
'woman in paris' is the definition.
'madame' can be an answer for 'woman' (used to address a woman). I am unsure of the 'in paris' bit.
'fanatical compiler embraces a' is the wordplay.
'fanatical' becomes 'mad' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'compiler' becomes 'me' (the person who is writing these clues).
'embraces' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'mad'+'me'='madme'
'madme' going around 'a' is 'MADAME'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for madame that I've seen before include "Married woman in Montpellier?" , "Married woman abroad" , "Title for a Frenchwoman" , "Flaubert novel" , "Proprietress of a brothel" .)
