Two articles carried by French priest (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

father

'priest' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'two articles carried by french' is the wordplay.
'two articles' becomes 'athe' (article meaning part of speech: the, a etc.).
'carried by' indicates putting letters inside.
'french' becomes 'fr'.
'athe' placed inside 'fr' is 'FATHER'.

(Other definitions for father that I've seen before include "Patriarch" , "Progenitor" , "Sire" , "pops" , "See 17" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
