Object the Parisian found under lorry (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

article

'object' is the definition.

'the parisian found under lorry' is the wordplay.
'the parisian' becomes 'le' (definite article in French).
'found under' says to put letters next to each other.
'lorry' becomes 'artic' (articulated lorry is a semi-trailer truck).
'le' after 'artic' is 'ARTICLE'.

(Other definitions for article that I've seen before include "A rewritten piece" , "Perhaps an" , "Object and newspaper story" , "Feature - item" , "It may be the" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
