Soon to 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' put next to 'non' is 'ANON'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for anon that I've seen before include "Nameless - presently" , "Not identified by name" , "Well-published writer" , "Soon, in a little while" , "Soon or presently" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
