Laugh seeing the French on pitch (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chuckle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'laugh' is the definition.
(I know that laugh can be written as chuckle)

'the french on pitch' is the wordplay.
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'pitch' becomes 'chuck' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'le' after 'chuck' is 'CHUCKLE'.

'seeing' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chuckle that I've seen before include "Laugh quietly" , "Tittering laugh" , "Muted laugh" , "Chortle" , "A quiet or half-suppressed laugh" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
