Find a Parisian on ground (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unearth

'find' is the definition.
(unearthing is a kind of finding)

'a parisian on ground' is the wordplay.
'a parisian' becomes 'un' ('a' in French).
'on' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'ground' becomes 'earth' (synonyms).
'un'+'earth'='UNEARTH'

(Other definitions for unearth that I've seen before include "Cut a certain wire" , "Track down" , "Excavate, dig up" , "Dig up or find for haunter" , "Discover" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
