To get one right takes skill (3)
I believe the answer is:
art
'skill' is the definition.
(both can mean a talent)
'to get one right' is the wordplay.
'to get' says to put letters next to each other.
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'right' becomes 'rt' (abbreviation as in Rt Hon- the Right Honourable).
'a'+'rt' is 'ART'.
'takes' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for art that I've seen before include "Works of creative imagination" , "crafty conduct" , "are old-fashioned" , "-- Garfunkel, singer" , "The works of Alma-Tadema" .)
