Article on German director Lee (3)
I believe the answer is:
ang
'director lee' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'article on german' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (English indefinite article).
'on' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'german' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'an'+'g'='ANG'
