The gentleman didn’t allow father to finish (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sir

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

'the gentleman' is the definition.
(a man may be addressed as sir)

'didn't allow father to finish' is the wordplay.
'didn't allow' becomes 'si' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to finish' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'father' is 'r'.
'si'+'r'='SIR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sir that I've seen before include "Knight's title" , "address to teacher" , "Poet and novelist" , "Way to address gentleman" , "Term of address for a gentleman" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
