Booby (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

trap

dope

'booby' is the definition.
(I know that booby can be written as dope)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dope that I've seen before include "Silly type" , "Sucker" , "Information; nitwit" , "Aircraft fabric varnish" , "The idiot's a drug" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
