Crossword Genius

Inexperienced and common? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

green

This clue is a double definition.

'inexperienced' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'common?' is the second definition.
(I know that common can be written as green)

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for green that I've seen before include "bowlers here?" , "Environmentally sound" , "raw, as > part of course" , "member of political party" , "Concerned with the environment in colourful way" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
