Spiteful woman traps man with deception (5)
I believe the answer is:
cheat
'deception' is the definition.
(cheat is a kind of deception)
'spiteful woman traps man' is the wordplay.
'spiteful woman' becomes 'cat' (**).
'traps' is an insertion indicator.
'man' becomes 'he'.
'cat' placed around 'he' is 'CHEAT'.
'with' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for cheat that I've seen before include "Take unfair advantage of" , "Dishonest person" , "Play false" , "Skin" , "Deceive, defraud" .)
