Crossword Genius

Sort of market for jumper (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flea

I believe this is a double definition.

'sort of market' is the first definition.

'jumper' is the second definition.
(something that jumps)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for flea that I've seen before include "Jumping, blood-sucking insect" , "Circus insect?" , "Tiny circus performer?" , "beastie?" , "Leaping insect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
