Artifice (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trickery

'artifice' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for trickery that I've seen before include "Legerdemain" , "Practice of deception" , "Smoke and mirrors?" , "cheating" , "Hocus-pocus" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times, the Evening Standard, the Penny Press and The Times.
