Bharat, I'm not surprised you didn't get the answer quickly and easily. I feel the clue's definitely from the rather clunky stable (next door to 'underwhelming surface reading').
I was unaware of that meaning. I had to get it from the wordplay, and assumed it must have “ogtr” inside it. Dogtrot would fit the wordplay too, but jogtrot has that definition listed
Sorry, just saw this. I think it must be “telos”. An Ancient Greek word meaning end. T for tense, followed by sole (one) reversed (round). Apologies I didn’t get to it earlier
