Frenchman swapping roles a bit (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

morsel

'a bit' is the definition.
(I know that bit can be written as morsel)

'frenchman swapping roles' is the wordplay.
'frenchman' becomes 'm' (abbreviation for Monsieur - like 'Mr').
'swapping' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'swaps' mean this).
'roles' with letters rearranged gives 'orsel'.
'm'+'orsel'='MORSEL'

(Other definitions for morsel that I've seen before include "Tidbit" , "A tiny bit" , "Small amount of food, a bite" , "Titbit" , "A small amount of food, just a piece" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
