Lacking experience (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

naive

'lacking experience' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for naive that I've seen before include "Too credulous or trusting" , "Rather too simple and ingenuous" , "Too simple and trusting" , "Lacking wisdom and judgement" , "Unaffected; credulous" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times, the L.A. Times Daily and The Times.
