Clear trap (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

net

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'clear' is the first definition.
(as in net profit)

'trap' is the second definition.
(net is a type of trap)

(Other definitions for net that I've seen before include "Tennis equipment" , "It's see-through" , "Butterfly trap" , "Mesh; profit" , "Fish-catcher" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
