Dodging troubles so naive (7)
I believe the answer is:
evasion
'dodging' is the definition.
(I know that dodging can be written as evasion)
'troubles so naive' is the wordplay.
'troubles' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'trouble' mean this).
'so'+'naive'='sonaive'
'sonaive' with letters rearranged gives 'EVASION'.
(Other definitions for evasion that I've seen before include "Circumvention" , "The avoidance of commitment" , "Deceptive action" , "A dodgy answer or excuse" , "deception" .)
