Inexperienced about the first local (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

native

'local' is the definition.
(relating to a particular area)

'inexperienced about the' is the wordplay.
'inexperienced' becomes 'naive' (similar in meaning).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the' becomes 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects).
'naive' placed around 't' is 'NATIVE'.

'first' is the link.

(Other definitions for native that I've seen before include "Of person, belonging by birth to place" , "One born in a certain place" , "mother" , "Local inhabitant" , "Original inhabitant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
