Break from being in French class? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elevenses

'break' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'being in french class?' is the wordplay.
'being' becomes 'ens' (I've seen this in other clues).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'french class?' becomes 'eleves' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ens' placed into 'eleves' is 'ELEVENSES'.

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for elevenses that I've seen before include "Morning tea or coffee break" , "Mid-morning refreshment" , "Mid-morning snack" , "Coffee time?" , "Mid-morning break" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
