I believe the answer is:

cotton

'cloth' is the definition.
(cotton is a kind of cloth)

'frantic otto now provides' is the wordplay.
'provides' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'COTTON' can be found hidden inside 'frantic otto now'.

(Other definitions for cotton that I've seen before include "Material" , "Cloth made from fine hairs of seed pod" , "Plantation product" , "Fabric woven from plant fibres" , "Fabric made from tropical plant - old man river don't plant it" .)
