Crossword Genius

Small Parisian club not right for solicitation (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

petition

'solicitation' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'small parisian club not right' is the wordplay.
'small parisian' becomes 'petit' ('small' in French).
'club' becomes 'iron' (type of golf club).
'not' suggests deleting specific letters.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'iron' with 'r' removed is 'ion'.
'petit'+'ion'='PETITION'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for petition that I've seen before include "Tiptoe in with request or appeal" , "Written request" , "Formal request with many signatures" , "Suit - supplication" , "Formal request submitted to authority" .)
