Crossword Genius

Soon get a French veto (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anon

'soon' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'get a french veto' is the wordplay.
'get' says to put letters next to each other.
'french veto' becomes 'non' (French for 'no', a word which might veto something).
'a' next to 'non' is 'ANON'.

(Other definitions for anon that I've seen before include "Soon; unattributed" , "Nameless - presently" , "Presently - unattributed" , "In due course" , "Shortly; unknown" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
