Frenchman in detention gets support (7)

I believe the answer is:

armrest

(Other definitions for armrest that I've seen before include "Part of a chair - smarter (anag)" , "sort of support is needed" , "Side part of chair" , "Part of a carver chair" , "Chair or car seat part" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
