Crossword Genius

Cloak for head (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cape

This clue is a double definition.

'cloak' is the first definition.
(cape is a kind of cloak)

'head' is the second definition.
(both can mean a piece of land jutting over the sea)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for cape that I've seen before include "Head; garment" , "Short cloak" , "Short sleeveless garment" , "An old cloak or a headland" , "Loose cloak or promontory" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
