Talk of getting change for a groat! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

argot

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

'talk of getting' is the definition.
'argot' can be an answer for 'talk' (I have seen 'Talk of thieves' mean 'argot' so perhaps 'talk' could also mean 'argot'). I am not certain of the 'of getting' bit.

'change for a groat' is the wordplay.
'change for' is an anagram indicator.
'groat' anagrammed gives 'ARGOT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for argot that I've seen before include "Cant" , "Criminal jargon" , "Father or mother" , "Jargon - patois" , "Jargon or slang (of a group)" .)
