'window fixture' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'girl is excited with the french' is the wordplay.
'is excited' is an anagram indicator.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the french' becomes 'le'.
'girl' anagrammed gives 'gril'.
'gril'+'le'='GRILLE'

Can you help me to learn more?
