Crossword Genius

Inexperienced and envious? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

green

This clue is a double definition.

'inexperienced' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'envious?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for green that I've seen before include "Envious; naive" , "Unripe; environmentalist" , "Politician; fresh" , "Grassy enclosure, in a village say" , "one of eighteen" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
