Gossip aptly spoken at terminals (6)

I believe the answer is:

natter

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

'gossip' is the definition.
(I know that gossip can be written as natter)

'aptly spoken at terminals' is the wordplay.
'NATTER' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am unsure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for natter that I've seen before include "Chit-chat" , "Idle chat" , "Talk casually" , "Talk continually or annoyingly" , "idle talk" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
