Crossword Genius

This idea will get you into no trouble (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

notion

'this idea' is the definition.
(notion is a kind of idea)

'into no trouble' is the wordplay.
'trouble' indicates anagramming the letters.
'into'+'no'='intono'
'intono' with letters rearranged gives 'NOTION'.

'will get you' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for notion that I've seen before include "desire" , "Whimsical idea or small sewing article" , "Vague or whimsical idea" , "A vague and possibly incorrect opinion" , "Whim or fancy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News and The Globe and Mail.
