Crossword Genius

Infant Ruth? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

babe

This clue is a double definition.

'infant' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'ruth?' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for babe that I've seen before include "Very young child (often found in arms)" , "child still very young" , "Tiny child" , "Ruth, for example" , "good-looking young lady" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
