Sort of income a Parisian made? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unearned

'sort of income' is the definition.

'a parisian made?' is the wordplay.
'a parisian' becomes 'un'.
'made?' becomes 'earned' ('earn' can be a synonym of 'make'**).
'un'+'earned'='UNEARNED'

(Other definitions for unearned that I've seen before include "Unmerited" , "Not merited by work, like some income" , "Not gained by labour" , "Not deserved" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
