To get one right takes skill (3)
I believe the answer is:
art
'skill' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'to get one right' is the wordplay.
'to get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'one' becomes 'a'.
'right' becomes 'rt'.
'a' next to 'rt' is 'ART'.
'takes' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for art that I've seen before include "Works of creative imagination" , "crafty conduct" , "are old-fashioned" , "-- Garfunkel, singer" , "The works of Alma-Tadema" .)
