A bit of cloth on girl? (5)
I believe the answer is:
thong
'a bit' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'of cloth on girl?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'THONG' can be found hidden inside 'cloth on girl'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for thong that I've seen before include "Narrow strip of leather - beach garment" , "Skimpy garment" , "Lash of whip" , "Pants" , "Beachwear item" .)
