Machine for turning French article to English? (5)
I believe the answer is:
lathe
'machine for turning' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'french article to english?' is the wordplay.
'french article' becomes 'la' (definite article in French).
'to english?' becomes 'the' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'la'+'the'='LATHE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lathe that I've seen before include "Turning device" , "Turning implement" , "Revolver" , "Turner's machine" , "Means for turning" .)
