French individual arriving to cover concert is inflexible (14)
I believe the answer is:
uncompromising
'inflexible' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'french individual arriving to cover concert is' is the wordplay.
'french individual' becomes 'un' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'arriving' becomes 'coming' (coming is a kind of arriving).
'to cover' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'concert' becomes 'prom' (abbreviation for promenade concert).
'prom'+'is'='promis'
'coming' placed around 'promis' is 'compromising'.
'un'+'compromising'='UNCOMPROMISING'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for uncompromising that I've seen before include "firm" , "Not willing to make concessions" , "Obstinate" .)
