Beneath French and German articles (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

under

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'beneath' is the definition.
(under means beneath or underneath)

'french and german articles' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found within the answer.
'german' could be 'de' (language code) and 'de' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ur' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for under that I've seen before include "Sub" , "Dylan Thomas radio play ''.... Milk Wood''" , "Managed by" , "Being short" , "Lower than" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
