French priest offers healing (4)
I believe the answer is:
cure
This clue is a double definition.
'french priest' is the first definition.
(French for 'priest')
'healing' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'offers' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for cure that I've seen before include "Make better or preserve in salt" , "Preserve by smoking - make better" , "Remedy or preserve" , "priest without an accent" , "Make better - smoke" .)
