Remove packaging from a French shawl (6)
I believe the answer is:
unwrap
'remove packaging from' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a french shawl' is the wordplay.
'a french' becomes 'un' ('a' in French).
'shawl' becomes 'wrap' (I've seen this before).
'un'+'wrap'='UNWRAP'
(Other definitions for unwrap that I've seen before include "peel" , "Open (a present)" , "Remove the outer cover" , "Remove packaging from" , "Undo" .)
