I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cover' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for hijab that I've seen before include "Muslim head covering" , "Headscarf worn by some Muslim women" , "Cover" , "Some females may use this" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
