Deceive someone inexperienced (3)
I believe the answer is:
'deceive' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kid that I've seen before include "To fool; young animal" , "Deceive - child" , "Soft leather" , "Jest" , "Young animal or child" .)
