Having had a good upbringing by the French? (5)
I believe the answer is:
noble
'having had a' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'good upbringing by the french?' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'bon' (I've seen this in other clues).
'upbringing' says the letters should be written backwards.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the french?' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'bon' reversed gives 'nob'.
'nob'+'le'='NOBLE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for noble that I've seen before include "Person of high rank" , "Worthy" , "Of high rank or birth" , "Illustrious - old money" , "aristocrat, maybe" .)
