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

'to fool' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'one woman returns' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'toi' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'woman' becomes 'Di' (short for Diana).
'returns' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'toi'+'di'='toidi'
'toidi' reversed gives 'IDIOT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for idiot that I've seen before include "eg Dostoevski's Myshkin" , "Dolt" , "Silly ass" , "Dope" , "Sap" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
