Trick or deceive (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fool

I believe this is a double definition.

'trick' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'deceive' is the second definition.
(I know that fool is a more specific form of the action deceive)

(Other definitions for fool that I've seen before include "Jester or silly ass" , "Hoax" , "Dimwit" , "One and his money are soon parted" , "Ass - clown" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
