Lead astray some apprentices (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entice

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

'some apprentices' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'ENTICE' is hidden within 'apprentices'.

(Other definitions for entice that I've seen before include "Ice net (anag)" , "Attract or persuade with offer" , "draw" , "Coax" , "Trap" .)
