Connive, intrigue (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scheme

This clue is a double definition.

'connive' is the first definition.
(I know that connive can be written as scheme)

'intrigue' is the second definition.
(I know that intrigue can be written as scheme)

(Other definitions for scheme that I've seen before include "Cunning plan" , "Wheel and deal" , "Plot, plan secretly" , "System or strategy" , "Secret plan, plot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
