Clown, fool (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

buffoon

This clue is a double definition.

'clown' is the first definition.
(I know that clown can be written as buffoon)

'fool' is the second definition.
(I know that buffoon is a type of fool)

(Other definitions for buffoon that I've seen before include "'Clown, fool (7)'" , "Jester" , "comic" , "Ludicrous figure" , "Ridiculous person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
