Feathery wrap (3)
I believe the answer is:
boa
'feathery wrap' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for boa that I've seen before include "Non-venomous snake" , "Large constrictor snake" , "S American snake that crushes its prey" , "One who puts the squeeze on" , "Large reptile" .)
