Crossword Genius

Fancy the Parisian coming over, for example with soldier (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elegant

'fancy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'the parisian coming over for example with soldier' is the wordplay.
'the parisian' becomes 'le' (definite article in French).
'coming over' is a reversal indicator.
'for example' becomes 'eg' ('e.g.' can be a synonym of 'for example').
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'soldier' becomes 'ant' (I've seen this before).
'le' backwards is 'el'.
'el'+'eg'+'ant'='ELEGANT'

(Other definitions for elegant that I've seen before include "Fine" , "excellent!" , "A gentle sort of stylish appearance" , "Well-dressed" , "Cleverly simple" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
