Frenchman finding work close to Marseille in corporate? (5)
I believe the answer is:
merge
'in corporate?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'frenchman finding work close to marseille' is the wordplay.
'frenchman' becomes 'm' (abbreviation for Monsieur - like 'Mr').
'finding' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'work' becomes 'erg' (an erg is a unit of work done).
'close to' indicates one should take the final letters (the close/ending of).
The last letter of 'marseille' is 'e'.
'm'+'erg'+'e'='MERGE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for merge that I've seen before include "Join into one" , "Become combined" , "Combine into one" , "Join, blend" , "Combine to form a single entity" .)
