Type the French provoke (6)
I believe the answer is:
kindle
'provoke' is the definition.
(I know that provoke can be written as kindle)
'type the french' is the wordplay.
'type' becomes 'kind' (I've seen this before).
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'kind'+'le'='KINDLE'
(Other definitions for kindle that I've seen before include "Light (fire)" , "Linked (anag)" , "Make something start burning" , "Stir up, start burning" , "Start to burn" .)
