A canvas sheet could make you hesitate! (3)
I believe the answer is:
jib
This clue could be a double definition.
'a canvas' is the first definition.
(jib is a kind of canvas)
'hesitate' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'sheet could make you' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to one of the definitions.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for jib that I've seen before include "Foresail" , "Crane's arm" , "Baulk" , "Projecting arm of crane" .)
