Procure from strange tradesman (3)
I believe the answer is:
get
'procure' is the definition.
(I know that procure is a more specific form of the action capture)
'from strange tradesman' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'GET' can be found hidden inside 'strange tradesman'.
(Other definitions for get that I've seen before include "Escape" , "Understand" , "Acquire" , "Procure or secure" , "Procure from vegetables" .)
