The Week 1351

[Chaseman]

15d should be simple but isn't. French art teacher at first gets special treatment (3) E?T

French "art" as in "thou art" would give ET and "teacher at first" gives T but what is ETT?

[1ozzy]

Eat

[Chaseman]

EAT is about the only answer that fits but how do you parse the clue?

I searched on The Week 1351 before I asked the question but that reference does not come up. I cannot find Lie-in King's post. Can you repeat it mallyh?

[Chaseman]

Actually I am seeing it now. Second person singular of ETRE is ES not ET and with the initial from Teacher that is EST but not quite sure why that makes Special Treatment. EST stands for Extra Special Treatment maybe?

Thanks Toorak, didn't know those initials.
