The French bring one to study in Dutch university town? (6)
I believe the answer is:
leiden
'dutch university town?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'the french bring one to study' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is present in the answer.
'study' could be 'den' (term for a study or office) and 'den' is found within the answer.
'the french' could be 'le' ('the' in French) and 'le' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for leiden that I've seen is " Dutch city with old university".)
