Originally French account manager in London (5)
I believe the answer is:
conte
This clue might be a double definition.
'originally french account manager' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'london' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for conte that I've seen before include "Medieval narrative tale" , "former Chelsea manager" , "Short story" .)
