The Maori and French fellow died and got fangs (7)
I believe the answer is:
teethed
'got fangs' is the definition.
'teethed' can be an answer for 'got' (teething is a kind of getting). I'm unsure of the 'fangs' bit.
'the maori and french fellow died' is the wordplay.
'the maori' becomes 'te' (I've seen this in other clues).
'and french' becomes 'et' ('and' in French).
'fellow' becomes 'he' ('he' refers to a man).
'died' becomes 'd' (abbreviation next to the year of someone's death).
'te'+'et'+'he'+'d'='TEETHED'
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for teethed that I've seen is " Cut milk teeth".)
