German refusal upset this Parisian after the French tolerance (8)
I believe the answer is:
lenience
This clue might be a double definition.
'german refusal upset this parisian after the french' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'tolerance' is the second definition.
(I know that lenience is a type of tolerance)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lenience that I've seen before include "Tolerance" , "indulgence" , "Quality of mercy in awarding punishment" .)
