Crossword Genius

French priest offers healing (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cure

This clue is a double definition.

'french priest' is the first definition.
(French for 'priest')

'healing' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'offers' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for cure that I've seen before include "Make better or preserve in salt" , "Preserve by smoking - make better" , "Remedy or preserve" , "priest without an accent" , "Make better - smoke" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
