Draft of French notice (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

design

'draft' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'of french notice' is the wordplay.
'of french' becomes 'de' ('of' in French).
'notice' becomes 'sign' (I've seen this in another clue).
'de'+'sign'='DESIGN'

(Other definitions for design that I've seen before include "Pattern - plan" , "Blueprint, pattern" , "Blueprint, sketch" , "Devise, create, make out a plan" , "Purpose, pattern" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
