I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'naive young woman' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'boy killed in bungee jumping' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ingenue that I've seen before include "She's artless" , "young woman lacking experience" , "Naive young actress" , "Unsophisticated young female" , "Genuine (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
