_D_O_N_ (7 letters)

Clue: Combined notice first from French professor.

All I can think of is "adjoins" or "adjoint" but I can't figure out why !

It doesn't fit the length (7) or your checking letters, but ADDED ON (5,2) looks a good bet.

AD (notice) DE (from French) and DON (professor)

Hi George G
This clue was also puzzling me , and after some research, ADJOINT seems to correct. A French mathematician Charles Hermite was first to use the word in relation to equations. Wikipedia will tell you all!

Cheers

Many thanks Big Dave and SuzieM for your comments. I think I'll I go for "adjoint" !
