Crossword Genius

Preferred a thing from Paris (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chose

This clue is a double definition.

'preferred' is the first definition.
('choose' can be a synonym of 'prefer')

'a thing from paris' is the second definition.
('chose' means a thing in French)

(Other definitions for chose that I've seen before include "article from Paris" , "item from Paris" , "Picked" , "Determined" , "Selected" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
