Lord Ted trained a two-year-old (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toddler

'a two-year-old' is the definition.

'lord ted trained' is the wordplay.
'trained' is an anagram indicator (to train can mean to grow something into a shape).
'lord'+'ted'='lordted'
'lordted' anagrammed gives 'TODDLER'.

(Other definitions for toddler that I've seen before include "Child starting to walk" , "Child just learning to walk" , "Young walker" , "Lord Ted (anag)" , "Young child" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
