Talk of getting change for a groat! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

argot

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

'talk' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Talk of thieves' mean 'argot' so perhaps 'talk' could also mean 'argot')

'getting change for a groat' is the wordplay.
'groat' can be anagrammed to 'ARGOT'.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for argot that I've seen before include "Cant" , "Criminal jargon" , "Father or mother" , "Jargon - patois" , "Jargon or slang (of a group)" .)
