Deceive a child (3)
I believe the answer is:
kid
I believe this is a double definition.
'deceive' is the first definition.
(I know that kid is a type of put one across)
'a child' is the second definition.
('kid' can be a synonym of 'child')
(Other definitions for kid that I've seen before include "Young animal or child" , "Jest" , "Deceive - child" , "Josh" , "Tease; hoodwink" .)
