Pair of the French get nothing (3)
I believe the answer is:
duo
'pair' is the definition.
('duo' can be a synonym of 'pair')
'of the french get nothing' is the wordplay.
'of the french' becomes 'du'.
'get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'nothing' becomes 'o' (looks like zero - 0).
'du'+'o'='DUO'
(Other definitions for duo that I've seen before include "Pair of singers" , "Pair of performers" , "Double act" , "Twosome" , "Two-person act" .)
