Play-act (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pretend

This clue is a double definition.

'play' is the first definition.
(I know that pretend is a type of play)

'act' is the second definition.
(I know that act can be written as pretend)

(Other definitions for pretend that I've seen before include "Behave unnaturally" , "bluff" , "Sham" , "Simulate - make up" , "Imagined" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
