Taxi driver getting the knowledge embracing one secretive group (5)
I believe the answer is:
cabal
'secretive group' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'taxi driver getting the knowledge embracing one' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'taxi' could be 'cab' (synonyms) and 'cab' is found within the answer.
'one' could be 'a' (a thing is one thing) and 'a' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'l' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cabal that I've seen before include "Secret group of plotters" , "Intrigue, clique" , "Secret plot or the people engaged in it" , "Group of conspirators" , "Group of political intriguers" .)
