The French bilge is possibly quite readable (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

legible

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'quite readable' is the definition.
'legible' can be an answer for 'readable' ('legible' can be similar in meaning to 'readable'). I am not certain of the 'quite' bit.

'the french bilge is possibly' is the wordplay.
'the french' becomes 'le'.
'is possibly' indicates an anagram.
'bilge' is an anagram of 'gible'.
'le'+'gible'='LEGIBLE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for legible that I've seen before include "Well written" , "Clear enough to read" , "Easy to read" , "Decipherable" , "Good characters are" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
