Fled from France (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ran

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

'from france' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'RAN' is hidden within 'france'.

(Other definitions for ran that I've seen before include "Operated; hurried" , "Sped" , "Sprinted" , "Administered" , "Managed; hurried" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
