Belt with hose (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sock

This clue is a double definition.

'belt' is the first definition.
(both can mean to hit)

'hose' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sock that I've seen before include "Hit forcefully; footwear" , "One worn" , "Hit hard - footwear" , "This partly protects member" , "Article to cover extremity" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
