Show the English man (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evince

'show' is the definition.
(I know that show can be written as evince)

'english man' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'man' becomes 'vince' ().
'e'+'vince'='EVINCE'

'the' is the link.

(Other definitions for evince that I've seen before include "Indicate (something)" , "Show, disclose" , "Venice (anag.)" , "Show or display, say feeling" , "Give expression to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
