Podginess of English male with good French cape (10)
I believe the answer is:
embonpoint
'podginess' is the definition.
(term for a fleshy part of a body)
'english male with good french cape' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'good french' becomes 'bon' ('good' in French).
'cape' becomes 'point' (both can mean a piece of land jutting into the sea).
'e'+'m'+'bon'+'point'='EMBONPOINT'
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for embonpoint that I've seen before include "Stoutness" , "stout" .)
