Bit of a fright from an articulated truck (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rig

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

'an articulated truck' is the definition.
(I know that Semi-trailer truck can be written as rig)

'bit of a fright from' is the wordplay.
'bit of' indicates a hidden word.
'RIG' is hidden in the letters of 'fright from'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rig that I've seen before include "Manipulate (result)" , "Gear; fiddle" , "Outfit; fix" , "Outfit of clothes or oil-drilling platform" , "Apparatus; (boat's) sails" .)
