Where in Paris child gave shout of pain (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ouch

'shout of pain' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'where in paris child' is the wordplay.
'where in paris' becomes 'ou'.
'child' becomes 'ch'.
'ou'+'ch'='OUCH'

'gave' is the link.

(Other definitions for ouch that I've seen before include "Pained exclamation" , "Pained expression" , "Cry of pain" , "brooch?" , "Pained cry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
