Rota in hotel is typical (4)
I believe the answer is:
list
'rota' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'in hotel is typical' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'LIST' is hidden within 'hotel is typical'.
(Other definitions for list that I've seen before include "pay heed no longer" , "Slope, slant, lean" , "Fillet" , "choose" , "Items or names written or printed consecutively" .)
