Pass out of recollection (3)
I believe the answer is:
col
'pass' is the definition.
(col is a term for a mountain pass)
'of recollection' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'COL' can be found hidden inside 'recollection'.
'out' is the link.
(Other definitions for col that I've seen before include "A pass through ridge" , "A depression in mountain range" , "Low area between peaks" , "Depression among ecologists" , "Mountain defile" .)
