Ross

I believe the answer is:

serb

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

'slav' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'taken in by kaiser bill' is the wordplay.
'taken in by' indicates a hidden word.
'SERB' is hidden in the letters of 'kaiser bill'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for serb that I've seen before include "Someone from Belgrade?" , "One from Belgrade" , "Native of the Balkans" , "A European national" , "From Belgrade, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
