Falls for light garments (9)
I believe the answer is:
landslips
'falls' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to natural events as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'light garments' is the wordplay.
'light' becomes 'land' (light can mean to settle or land).
'garments' becomes 'slips' (slip is a kind of garment).
'land'+'slips'='LANDSLIPS'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for landslips that I've seen is " Disasters - naturally".)
