Not that favourite trumpet piece? How odd! (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rum

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

'odd' is the definition.
(rum can mean strange or dubious)

'not that favourite trumpet piece?' is the wordplay.
'RUM' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am not sure how the hidden word is indicated.

'how' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rum that I've seen before include "Odd sort of spirit used in grog" , "Droll" , "Eerie" , "Odd like drink distilled from molasses" , "Unusual" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
