Successful move by the French pair (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

couple

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pair' is the definition.
(I know that pair can be written as couple)

'successful move by the french' is the wordplay.
'successful move' becomes 'coup' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'coup'+'le'='COUPLE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for couple that I've seen before include "Pair, duo" , "Pair of attached people" , "The pair to join together" , "Married pair; two forces causing rotation" , "Two of a kind" .)
