Crossword Genius

Fool somewhat mixed-up Europhile (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dupe

'fool' is the definition.
(I know that fool can be written as dupe)

'somewhat mixed-up europhile' is the wordplay.
'somewhat' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'DUPE' can be found hidden inside 'mixed up europhile'.

(Other definitions for dupe that I've seen before include "Sucker" , "Gull" , "Hoodwink, fool" , "Fool or hoax" , "Cat's paw" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
