French and German articles appear below (5)
I believe the answer is:
under
'below' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'french and german articles appear' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found within the answer.
'german' could be 'de' (language code) and 'de' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ur' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for under that I've seen before include "Being short" , "Beneath or subordinate to" , "Sub" , "Lower than" , "See 7" .)
