Untruth, lie (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fib

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">This clue is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">untruth</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(fib is a kind of untruth)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">lie</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(fib is a kind of lie)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for fib that I've seen before include "minor piece of fiction" , "Petty falsehood" , "Trivial lie" , "A harmless white lie" , "Story" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
