Teacher will absorb article from France better (6)
I believe the answer is:
healed
'better' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'teacher will absorb article from france' is the wordplay.
'teacher' becomes 'head'.
'will absorb' is an insertion indicator.
'article from france' becomes 'le' (definite article in French).
'head' enclosing 'le' is 'HEALED'.
(Other definitions for healed that I've seen before include "Became healthy again" , "Made well" , "Mended, recovered" , "Became well again" , "Put right" .)
