In French question one about to ask a question (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enquire

'ask a question' is the definition.

'in french question one about' is the wordplay.
'in french' becomes 'en' ('en' can be French for 'in' e.g. en France).
'question' becomes 'qu'.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'about' becomes 're' (regarding**).
'en'+'qu'+'i'+'re'='ENQUIRE'

'to' acts as a link.

(Another definition for enquire that I've seen is " Ask about, seek information".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
