Fragments taken from street of a trailer (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

foretaste

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'trailer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fragments taken from street of a' is the wordplay.
'fragments' becomes 'f' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'taken from' indicates an anagram.
'of' becomes 'o''.
'street'+'o'+'a'='streetoa'
'streetoa' is an anagram of 'oretaste'.
'f'+'oretaste'='FORETASTE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for foretaste that I've seen before include "Brief experience of what is to come" , "Sampler" , "Sample of what's ahead" , "Appetiser" , "Preview" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
