Soon return to English rope (5)
I believe the answer is:
noose
'rope' is the definition.
(noose is a kind of rope)
'soon return to english' is the wordplay.
'return' is a reversal indicator.
'to english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'soon' backwards is 'noos'.
'noos'+'e'='NOOSE'
(Other definitions for noose that I've seen before include "Catcher" , "Sliding loop in a lasso (5)" , "Loop for catching animals" , "Hangman's equipment" , "Hanging material" .)
