It's given to deceive people (8)
I believe the answer is:
donation
'it's given' is the definition.
(something which gets given)
'deceive people' is the wordplay.
'deceive' becomes 'do' (do can mean to trick or deceive).
'people' becomes 'nation'.
'do'+'nation'='DONATION'
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for donation that I've seen before include "Do anoint by way of a gift" , "presentation" , "Gift of money as to charity" , "Gift or contribution" , "An offering or charitable gift" .)
