In rising air a Latin produces winged sandals? (7)

I believe the answer is:

talaria

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

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

'in rising air a latin' is the wordplay.
'TALARIA' is hidden backwards in amongst the letters.
But, I am not sure how the hidden word is indicated.

'produces' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for talaria that I've seen before include "Winged sandals of Hermes" , "Winged sandals of Mercury" .)
