Listed the French worker (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leant

'listed' is the definition.
(list can mean lean)

'the french worker' is the wordplay.
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'worker' becomes 'ant' (worker is a type of ant).
'le'+'ant'='LEANT'

(Other definitions for leant that I've seen before include "Slanted" , "bent over" , "Tilted" , "Inclined (towards)" , "Advanced" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
