You might have a better answer, Jennifer (because there are no crossing answers, it's not like a crossword where things cross ref).
My version is to remove 'age' from the end of an 8 letter word leaving the (French) name for a wooden shoe.

The ' wooden shoe ' clue ( SABOTAGE - AGE ) isn't really cryptic, as that's where the word comes from. A saboteur was a textile worker who threw his or her wooden shoes ( sabots ) into the machinery as a protest at mechanisation. Hence sabotage

Trunks appears to be correct.
'Trunks' is also known as the game of 'Trou-madame'
