Everything in French, one current poem (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

universe

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

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

'french one current poem' is the wordplay.
'french one' becomes 'un' (I've seen this in other clues. I am not sure about the 'french' bit.).
'current' becomes 'i' (symbol for electric current).
'poem' becomes 'verse' (verse is a kind of poem).
'un'+'i'+'verse'='UNIVERSE'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for universe that I've seen before include "Everything that exists, everywhere" , "The earth and all the heavenly bodies" , "mind-boggling concept" , "The whole of everything" , "The totality of matter, energy and space" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
