One of a pack taking a trot (5)
I believe the answer is:
tarot
'one of a pack' is the definition.
'tarot' can be an answer for 'pack' (type of card pack). I'm not sure about the 'one of a' bit.
'taking a trot' is the wordplay.
'taking' is an insertion indicator.
'a' put within 'trot' is 'TAROT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tarot that I've seen before include "Fortune-teller's card" , "Mystic cards" , "Card used for fortunetelling" , "78-card pack" , "fortune-teller?" .)
