A message which is not enciphered is described as ____ (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

en clair

(Other definitions for en clair that I've seen before include "Put straightforwardly" , "It's easy to get" , "in the Open" , "Not in cipher" , "Not using substitution, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
