Green to get removed from negative
(5)
Solution
– naïve
The
word that gives the definition of the solution is "green" – not in
the sense of colour but of being inexperienced – so "naïve" fits
that.
The
second part of the clue confirms this solution.
It is a deletion clue. The signal that this is so is "removed
from". So if you remove the letters
in "get" from "negative" – you end up with
"naïve".
