Bricklaying, for example (5)
I believe the answer is:
trade
'bricklaying for example' is the definition.
(I know that bricklaying is a type of masonry)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for trade that I've seen before include "Barter or swap" , "Deal commercially" , "Buying and selling of goods" , "job" , "Business - deal" .)
