Knack; deceive (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trick

This clue is a double definition.

'knack' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'deceive' is the second definition.
(tricking is a kind of deceiving)

(Other definitions for trick that I've seen before include "Mischievous joke" , "Deceive, perhaps with cards" , "Characteristic habit" , "Deception or illusion" , "Sleight of hand" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
