I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'indiscreet' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'kiss involving the french' is the wordplay.
'kiss' becomes 'cares' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'involving' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the french' becomes 'les' (plural form of 'the' in French).
'cares' going around 'les' is 'CARELESS'.

Can you help me to learn more?
