Practise on last means of transport (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rehearse

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

'practise' is the definition.
('rehearse' can be a synonym of 'practise')

'last means of transport' is the wordplay.
'last means of' becomes 're' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'transport' becomes 'hearse' (hearse is a kind of transport).
're'+'hearse'='REHEARSE'

'on' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rehearse that I've seen before include "What actor does to prepare for play" , "Practise (one's lines)" , "prepare for performance" , "Practise like actor" , "Practise parts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
