Crossword Genius

Girl from European country, saint (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

frances

'girl' is the definition.

'european country saint' is the wordplay.
'european country' becomes 'france' (France is an example).
'saint' becomes 's'.
'france'+'s'='FRANCES'

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for frances that I've seen before include "Girl" , "Name" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
