University publisher to block translation of de Gaulle, cutting a line for French territory (10)
I believe the answer is:
guadeloupe
'territory' is the definition.
(I know that Guadeloupe is a territory)
'university publisher to block translation of de gaulle cutting a line for french' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'university' could be 'ou' and 'ou' is present in the answer.
'de' is found in the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
'line' could be 'l' (used when specifying particular lines from a poem) and 'l' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for guadeloupe that I've seen before include "French overseas department in the Caribbean, capital Basse-Terre" , "French overseas department in the West Indies" .)
