Jack, deceitful man (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

knave

This clue is a double definition.

'jack' is the first definition.
('knave' can be a synonym of 'jack')

'deceitful man' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for knave that I've seen before include "Yet he may be a diamond" , "Scoundrel - card" , "Jack - rotter" , "A rogue as in playing cards" , "Jack (card); base fellow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
