Tricks with parents' manoeuvres (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entraps

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

'parents' manoeuvres' is the wordplay.
'manoeuvres' indicates anagramming the letters.
'parents' with letters rearranged gives 'ENTRAPS'.

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for entraps that I've seen before include "Catches" , "nets" , "Takes" , "frames" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
