False looker notes confusion (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dishonest

'false' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)

'looker notes confusion' is the wordplay.
'looker' becomes 'dish' (I've seen this in another clue).
'confusion' is an anagram indicator.
'notes' with letters rearranged gives 'onest'.
'dish'+'onest'='DISHONEST'

(Other definitions for dishonest that I've seen before include "Not trustworthy" , "Not true!" , "shady" , "Deceitful - hedonists (anag)" , "cheat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
