Arrest for a trick (5)
I believe the answer is:
stunt
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'arrest' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'trick' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'for a' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for stunt that I've seen before include "Inhibit - exploit" , "Impede growth" , "Restrict growth" , "Exhibitionistic performance" , "Limit the growth of" .)
