French port having diplomatic immunity? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gauche

I believe this is a double definition.

'french port' is the first definition.
(French for 'left', which is port on a ship)

'having diplomatic immunity?' is the second definition.
(gauche can mean acting undiplomatically)

(Other definitions for gauche that I've seen before include "Awkward - ill-bred" , "Ill-at-ease, awkward in social situations" , "Awkward, inept" , "Like maladroit people" , "Clumsily tactless" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
