Showing diplomacy, one with French article relating to touch (7)
I believe the answer is:
tactile
'relating to touch' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'showing diplomacy one with french article' is the wordplay.
'showing diplomacy' becomes 'tact' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'french article' becomes 'le' (definite article in French).
'tact'+'i'+'le'='TACTILE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tactile that I've seen before include "Using the sense of touch as in lattice" , "Pleasant to touch" , "Tangible - of touch" , "be felt" , "Touchy-feely" .)
