Common sense for us French (4)
I believe the answer is:
nous
'common sense' is the definition.
(nous is a kind of common sense)
'us french' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'us' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'no' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nous that I've seen before include "How the French describe their own" , "Gumption" , "FT in Paris, say" , "We, in France, have common sense" , "Abroad we" .)
