Release a French pair (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uncouple

'release' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a french pair' is the wordplay.
'a french' becomes 'un' ('a' in French).
'pair' becomes 'couple' (synonyms).
'un'+'couple'='UNCOUPLE'

(Other definitions for uncouple that I've seen before include "Separate (carriage from train)" , "Detach (truck from train)" , "Detach (a railway carriage)" , "Disconnect" , "Release" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
