Dry in half a second (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sec

This clue is a double definition.

'dry' is the first definition.
('dry' in French - used for wine)

'half a second' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for sec that I've seen before include "Moderately dry, champagne say" , "sparkling?" , "Mo or min?" , "Dry, like wine" , "Jiffy" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
