European remaining, having time for France (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lett

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

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

'time for france' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't'.
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'france' becomes 'let' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
't' after 'let' is 'LETT'.

'remaining having' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lett that I've seen before include "Balt" , "northerner" , "East European" , "Baltic citizen" , "Native of Latvia" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
