Remove obstacle from a foreign advertisement (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unplug

'remove obstacle' is the definition.
(eg unplugging a drain)

'a foreign advertisement' is the wordplay.
'a foreign' becomes 'un' ('a' translated into French).
'advertisement' becomes 'plug' (a plug is an advert for something).
'un'+'plug'='UNPLUG'

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for unplug that I've seen before include "Disconnect (kettle or toaster?)" , "Take out of socket" , "Remove a blockage from" , "Remove from a socket" , "Remove power from" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
