Calm, points to Frenchman (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

serene

'calm' is the definition.
('serene' can be a synonym of 'calm')

'points to frenchman' is the wordplay.
'points' becomes 'se'.
'to frenchman' becomes 'rene'.
'se'+'rene'='SERENE'

(Other definitions for serene that I've seen before include "Peaceful and calm in manner" , "Calm, peaceful, tranquil" , "Totally unagitated" , "Peaceful and unruffled" , "without any trouble" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
