Part of facade thrills trainee (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cadet

'trainee' is the definition.
(cadet is a kind of trainee)

'part of facade thrills' is the wordplay.
'part of' indicates a hidden word.
'CADET' can be found hidden inside 'facade thrills'.

(Other definitions for cadet that I've seen before include "Officer-trainee" , "Younger member of family" , "Trainee soldier" , "not the heir" , "young soldier" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
