The standard is taken from Paris (3)
I believe the answer is:
par
'the standard' is the definition.
(standard of play in golf)
'is taken from paris' is the wordplay.
'taken from' suggests deleting specific letters.
'paris' with 'is' taken out is 'PAR'.
(Other definitions for par that I've seen before include "standard for course" , "Average - equality" , "Average standard" , "Standard score for golfers" , "level footing" .)
