Unsuspected difficulty (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pitfall

(Other definitions for pitfall that I've seen before include "Trap in the form of a concealed hole" , "Unforeseen difficulty" , "Unexpected problem" , "Hidden danger or difficulty" , "Unexpected difficulty or danger" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and the Evening Standard.
