What to expect from, say, an uncooperative Frenchman soon? (4)
I believe the answer is:
anon
'soon?' is the definition.
('anon' can be a synonym of 'soon')
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for anon that I've seen before include "Of unknown identity, in short" , "Nameless - presently" , "Presently - unattributed" , "Well-published writer" , "In the near future" .)
