Tricked, like 11 lured by its food with unknown filling? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bamboozled

'tricked' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I don't understand how one could define the other.

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for bamboozled that I've seen before include "Deceived" , "Stumped" , "thrown" , "Confused; cheated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
