Avoid; deception (5)
I believe the answer is:
dodge
I believe this is a double definition.
'avoid' is the first definition.
(dodging is a kind of avoiding)
'deception' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for dodge that I've seen before include "Avoid; cunning trick" , "Ploy" , "Avoid - Kansas city" , "Evade - trick" , "Avoid by sudden move" .)
