Most delayed the French examination (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

latest

'most delayed' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'the french examination' is the wordplay.
'the french' becomes 'la' ('the' in French).
'examination' becomes 'test' (synonyms).
'la'+'test'='LATEST'

(Other definitions for latest that I've seen before include "Most recent or most tardy" , "Most recent, hot off the press" , "Up-to-the-minute" , "State-of-the-art" , "Most recent report" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
