French director linking tea to British part, mostly (7)
I believe the answer is:
chabrol
'french director' is the definition.
'chabrol' can be an answer for 'director' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'french' bit.
'linking tea to british part mostly' is the wordplay.
'linking' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'tea' becomes 'cha' (cha is a type of tea).
'to british' becomes 'br' (abbreviation for British).
'part mostly' becomes 'ol' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'cha' next to 'br' is 'chabr'.
'chabr'+'ol'='CHABROL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for chabrol that I've seen is " Famous director".)
