Cord attached to end of green cloth (5)
I believe the answer is:
linen
'cloth' is the definition.
(I know that linen is a type of cloth)
'cord attached to end of green' is the wordplay.
'cord' becomes 'line' (I've seen this in another clue).
'attached to' says to put letters next to each other.
'end of' indicates one should take the final letters.
The final letter of 'green' is 'n'.
'line'+'n'='LINEN'
(Other definitions for linen that I've seen before include "Cloth woven flax fibres" , "Underclothing" , "Flax product" , "Flax textile" , "Sheets, pillowcases etc" .)
