Iron in bar just a dodge? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

feint

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

'a dodge?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'iron in bar just' is the wordplay.
'iron' becomes 'Fe' (Fe is the chemical symbol for iron).
'bar just' becomes 't' (T-bar is a part of a ski lift. I am not sure about the 'just' bit.).
'fe'+'in'+'t'='FEINT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for feint that I've seen before include "Pretended blow" , "Deceptive move by a boxer, for example" , "Make slight movement to divert, as in fencing" , "Deceptive manoeuvre" , "(Make a) deceptive move" .)

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