Duped, deluded (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

misled

I believe this is a double definition.

'duped' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'deluded' is the second definition.
(delude can mean to mislead)

(Other definitions for misled that I've seen before include "as 15 [HOAX] did" , "Gave false or misleading information to" , "Wrongly directed" , "Sent someone in the wrong direction" , "Given the wrong idea" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
