Friendly, getting the French to waken (6)
I believe the answer is:
kindle
'waken' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'friendly getting the french' is the wordplay.
'friendly' becomes 'kind' (synonyms).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'kind'+'le'='KINDLE'
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for kindle that I've seen before include "Start to burn" , "collection of books?" , "Modern book store" , "Light (flame), arouse" , "Ignite" .)
