Maybe taken with wager (3)
I believe the answer is:
bet
'wager' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'maybe taken with' is the wordplay.
'with' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'BET' is hidden in the letters of 'maybe taken'.
(Other definitions for bet that I've seen before include "22 across will accept one" , "Money risked on a gamble" , "'Stake, wager (3)'" , "Wager, gamble" , "Speculation" .)
