Nice parent (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mere

'nice parent' is the definition.
('mother' in French, eg in Nice)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for mere that I've seen before include "Previously pure" , "Nothing more than - water" , "Just an English lake" , "Lake; Wiltshire town" , "Unimpressive" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
