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

This clue could be a double definition.

'the french maid's home' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'address' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for arc that I've seen before include "be rapidly discharged" , "Curve of car" , "Portion of a circle" , "Part of circle; discharge" , "Part of a circular line" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
