'without doubt one french pursuit decreasing right away' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'one french pursuit decreasing right away' is the wordplay.
'one french' becomes 'un' ('one' in French).
'pursuit' becomes 'quest' (synonyms).
'decreasing' becomes 'ironing' (de-creasing: removing creases).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'away' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'ironing' with 'r' taken away is 'ioning'.
'un'+'quest'+'ioning'='UNQUESTIONING'
