Skill in particular (3)
I believe the answer is:
art
'skill' is the definition.
(both can mean a talent)
'in particular' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ART' is hidden in the letters of 'particular'.
(Other definitions for art that I've seen before include "Painting, for instance" , "Works of beauty created by humans" , "For example, Blakey's creative" , "-- Garfunkel, singer" , "The works of Alma-Tadema" .)
