Fit into minicab legs first (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

able

'fit' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'into minicab legs first' is the wordplay.
'into' indicates a hidden word.
'ABLE' can be found hidden inside 'minicab legs first'.

(Other definitions for able that I've seen before include "Having the power, skill or means (to do something)" , "See 10" , "Practised" , "Competent, having ability" , "Competent as, say, sailor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
