Trifled with a toy boy? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toyed

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

'a toy boy?' is the wordplay.
'boy?' becomes 'ed' (short for Edward).
'toy'+'ed'='TOYED'

(Other definitions for toyed that I've seen before include "Trifled (with someone's affections)" , "Engaged in an activity, but not seriously" , "fiddled" , "Played" , "was trifling" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
