Dont charge the French aristocrat (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

letoff

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

'dont charge' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'the french aristocrat' is the wordplay.
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'aristocrat' becomes 'toff' (toff can mean an upper-class person).
'le'+'toff'='LETOFF'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for letoff that I've seen is " Spare".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
