Deceive or betray (6-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

double-cross

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">This clue is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">deceive</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">betray</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(doubling cross is a kind of betraying)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for double-cross that I've seen before include "Deceive supposed ally" , "Cheat - betray" , "Deceive (an ally, maybe)" , "Sell down the river" , "Deceive person one is supposedly helping" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
