An accent in French; severe (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

acute

(Other definitions for acute that I've seen before include "(Of an angle) less than 90 degrees" , "Very perceptive, having sharp mind" , "Severe, penetrating" , "not seen in cafe here!" , "Shrewd; severe" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
