Ring-bearing girl the French found in ancient city (7)
I believe the answer is:
annular
'ring-bearing' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'girl the french found in ancient city' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'ann' (woman's name).
'the french' becomes 'la' ('the' in French).
'found in' indicates putting letters inside.
'ancient city' becomes 'ur' (ancient Sumerian city state).
'la' placed into 'ur' is 'ular'.
'ann'+'ular'='ANNULAR'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for annular that I've seen before include "Forming a ring" , "Doughnut-shaped -- a LAN run (anag)" , "Ring-shaped" , "in a band" , "Circular" .)
