Bands Peel originally supported (6)
I believe the answer is:
strips
'bands' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'peel originally supported' is the wordplay.
'peel' becomes 'strip' (I've seen this in another clue).
'originally' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'supported' is 's'.
'strip'+'s'='STRIPS'
(Other definitions for strips that I've seen before include "layers" , "Bands" , "Peels off" , "Gets undressed" , "Long narrow pieces" .)
