One of two in a split (3)
I believe the answer is:
pin
'one of two in a split' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for pin that I've seen before include "Cashpoint code" , "Skittle; fix" , "Number allocated for electronic transactions" , "Small object to fasten or attach" , "Small pointed metal fastener" .)
