This isn't an answer, but applying very tortuous logic, the French for "who lives" is QUI VIT, and the phrase "on the qui vive" means "alert" or "on the lookout" - by the way, are you sure of the cross clue letters ? and if you are and the answer IS "alert" do you need to know the reason for it ?

Many thanks Marpycoo.

The solution appeared today - so I'm absolutely sure the answer is alert.

I always like to understand the derivation of any answer in the crosswords I do.
