Hypocrisy? There's no such word! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cant

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

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

'no such word' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'no' could be 'n' (common abbreviation) and 'n' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'cat' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'there's' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cant that I've seen before include "Pious platitudes -- jargon" , "Affected talk" , "Inclination" , "List" , "Hypocritical talk; slope" .)
