Georgia came across art in French cells (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gametes

'cells' is the definition.
(gamete is a kind of cell)

'georgia came across art in french' is the wordplay.
'georgia' becomes 'ga' (abbreviation for the US state).
'came across' becomes 'met' ('meet' can be a synonym of 'come across').
'art in french' becomes 'es' ('is' in French - 'art' can mean 'is' eg 'thou art').
'ga'+'met'+'es'='GAMETES'

(Another definition for gametes that I've seen is " Cells".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
