Foolishness, inanity (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asininity

I believe this is a double definition.

'foolishness' is the first definition.
(I know that asininity is a type of foolishness)

'inanity' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for asininity that I've seen before include "Stupidity" , "Extreme foolishness" , "Idiocy" , "Foolishness as of donkey" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
