Behind in French coursework? (8)
I believe the answer is:
derriere
'behind' is the definition.
(synonyms)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for derriere that I've seen before include "Seat" , "Fourteen down's [FRENCHMAN] behind" , "(French?) behind" , "A French backside or buttocks" , "One's backside in France" .)
