Control part of parachute? (7)
I believe the answer is:
harness
I believe this is a double definition.
'control' is the first definition.
(harnessing is a kind of controlling)
'part of parachute?' is the second definition.
('harness' is part of 'parachute')
(Other definitions for harness that I've seen before include "Equipment for the horse" , "Fasten (horse to cart)" , "Equine gear" , "Set of straps for horse or child" , "Hitch up" .)
