Crossword Genius

Belts and hosiery (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

socks

This clue is a double definition.

'belts' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'hosiery' is the second definition.
(socks is a kind of hosiery)

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for socks that I've seen before include "Half-hose" , "Footwear - strikes" , "Are belts" , "usually come in pairs" , "Hard blows" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Sunday Times and The Guardian.
