Name a French poet’s sister’s calling (7)

I believe the answer is:

nunhood

'sister's calling' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'name a french poet's' is the wordplay.
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'a french' becomes 'un' ('a' in French).
'poet' becomes 'hood' (Thomas Hood, 1799-1845).
'n'+'un'+'hood'='NUNHOOD'

(Another definition for nunhood that I've seen is " Perhaps a conventional state".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
