Four articles about Frenchman? Not something I can stand (8)
I believe the answer is:
anathema
'not something i can stand' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'four articles about frenchman?' is the wordplay.
'four' becomes 'ana' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'articles' becomes 'the a' (two examples of the part-of-speech: the+a).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'frenchman?' becomes 'm' (abbreviation for Monsieur - like 'Mr').
'thea' placed around 'm' is 'thema'.
'ana'+'thema'='ANATHEMA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for anathema that I've seen before include "Person or thing that's abhorred" , "Object of detestation" , "abhorrent" , "B?te noire, hated thing" , "Accursed by the Church" .)
