Taxi getting in a hut (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cabin

'a hut' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'taxi getting in' is the wordplay.
'taxi' becomes 'cab' (synonyms).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'cab'+'in'='CABIN'

(Other definitions for cabin that I've seen before include "Lodge or hut" , "Uncle Tom's little house" , "Chalet" , "Wooden dwelling" , "Marine digs" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
