Crossword Genius

Some French boy (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

des

This clue is a double definition.

'some french' is the first definition.

'boy' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for des that I've seen before include "and 9 Across: Former 'Countdown' host" , "- O'Connor, Br. singer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
