Ask in French and question anger (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enquire

'ask' is the definition.
(I know that ask can be written as enquire)

'in french and question anger' is the wordplay.
'in french' becomes 'en' ('in' in French).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'question' becomes 'qu' (abbreviation).
'anger' becomes 'ire' (ire is intense rage).
'en'+'qu'+'ire'='ENQUIRE'

(Another definition for enquire that I've seen is " Ask about, seek information".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
