Ross

I think it could be either:

rhone

loire

'river of france' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'river of france' is the wordplay.
'river' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'of france' becomes 'hone' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'r'+'hone'='RHONE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rhone that I've seen before include "Current" , "River at Lyons" , "Swiss-French river" , "River running through the city of Arles" , "River of Switzerland and France" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and The Telegraph.
