So very good it's disconcerting? (8)

I believe the answer is:

rattling

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

'disconcerting?' is the definition.
(rattle can mean to unnerve or disconcert)

'so very good it's' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'good' could be 'g' (abbreviation) and 'g' is present in the answer.
'it' could be 't' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis) and 't' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ratlin' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
