Ignorant article in Le Monde about American conflict (7)
I believe the answer is:
unaware
'ignorant' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'monde about american conflict' is the wordplay.
'monde' becomes 'une' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'american' becomes 'a' (common abbreviation - e.g. in organisation names).
'conflict' becomes 'war' (war is a kind of conflict).
'a'+'war'='awar'
'une' placed around 'awar' is 'UNAWARE'.
'article in le' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unaware that I've seen before include "Not cognisant" , "Ignorant - unenlightened" , "In the dark" , "Heedless" , "Oblivious to, not knowing" .)
