Crossword Genius

Procures German and French, second (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gets

'procures' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'german and french second' is the wordplay.
'german' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'and french' becomes 'et' ('and' in French).
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'g'+'et'+'s'='GETS'

(Other definitions for gets that I've seen before include "Fetches or receives" , "Notices" , "Understands" , "Obtains or becomes" , "Acquires, obtains" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
