Is French and English writer going up to get honour? (6)
I believe the answer is:
esteem
'honour?' is the definition.
(I know that esteem is a type of honour)
'is french and english writer going up' is the wordplay.
'is french' becomes 'est' ('is' in French).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'writer' becomes 'me' (the person who wrote the clues).
'going up' says the letters should be written backwards.
'me' reversed gives 'em'.
'est'+'e'+'em'='ESTEEM'
'to get' is the link.
(Other definitions for esteem that I've seen before include "Count" , "Honour - regard" , "Revere - prize" , "Floor covering" , "High opinion, great respect" .)
