Reinforced resistance in French love of revolutionary (8)
I believe the answer is:
armoured
'reinforced' is the definition.
'resistance in french love of revolutionary' is the wordplay.
'resistance' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'french love' becomes 'amour' (I've seen this before).
'of revolutionary' becomes 'ed' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'r' put inside 'amour' is 'armour'.
'armour'+'ed'='ARMOURED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for armoured that I've seen before include "Protected from weapons" , "Protectively covered" , "bullet-proof?" , "Having protective covering" , "protected against attack?" .)
