Fib to disloyal gangster (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

falsehood

'fib' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'disloyal gangster' is the wordplay.
'disloyal' becomes 'false' ('false' is associated in meaning with 'disloyal').
'gangster' becomes 'hood' (I've seen this before).
'false'+'hood'='FALSEHOOD'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for falsehood that I've seen before include "Deception" , "It might be hard to swallow" , "Has fooled with lie" , "Pork pie" , "Untruth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
