Crossword Genius

Agree to deceive copper, right (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

concur

'agree' is the definition.
('concur' can be a synonym of 'agree')

'deceive copper right' is the wordplay.
'deceive' becomes 'con' (I've seen this before).
'copper' becomes 'cu' (chemical symbol).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'con'+'cu'+'r'='CONCUR'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for concur that I've seen before include "meet" , "share the same opinion" , "See eye to eye" , "Agree, assent" , "Give assent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
