Girl making the French angry, getting knocked over (6)
I believe the answer is:
damsel
'girl' is the definition.
(damsel is a kind of girl)
'the french angry getting knocked over' is the wordplay.
'the french' becomes 'les' (les is the in french).
'angry' becomes 'mad' ('mad' can be similar in meaning to 'angry').
'getting knocked over' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'les'+'mad'='lesmad'
'lesmad' written backwards gives 'DAMSEL'.
'making' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for damsel that I've seen before include "Maiden, often in distress" , "Maid" , "Girl (literary)" , "Medals (anag.)" , "Young woman (archaic)" .)
