Fool from Snitterton (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nit

'fool' is the definition.
(both can mean a stupid person)

'from snitterton' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'NIT' is hidden within 'snitterton'.

(Other definitions for nit that I've seen before include "Parasite's egg made of tin" , "Hair louse" , "Egg of a head louse" , "Louse; fool" , "Egg of parasitic insect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
