Rebel Frenchman for example brought back without notice (8)
I believe the answer is:
renegade
'rebel' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'frenchman for example brought back without notice' is the wordplay.
'frenchman' becomes 'rene'.
'for example' becomes 'eg' ('e.g.' can be a synonym of 'for example').
'brought back' is a reversal indicator.
'without' is an insertion indicator ('without' can be similar in meaning to 'outside').
'notice' becomes 'ad'.
'eg' backwards is 'ge'.
'ge' enclosing 'ad' is 'gade'.
'rene'+'gade'='RENEGADE'
(Other definitions for renegade that I've seen before include "Person who deserts from cause or faith" , "Deserter, turncoat" , "disloyal type" , "Turncoat, rebel" , "Treacherous person" .)
