French port is rather unsophisticated (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gauche

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'french port' is the first definition.
(French for 'left', which is port on a ship)

'rather unsophisticated' is the second definition.
(gauche can mean awkward or unsophisticated)

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for gauche that I've seen before include "'Ill-at-ease, awkward (6)'" , "Ill-at-ease, awkward in social situations" , "'Lacking social polish, awkward (6)'" , "inelegant" , "Awkward - ill-bred" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
