Hide from child's family (7)
I believe the answer is:
kidskin
'hide' is the definition.
(type of goat hide)
'child's family' is the wordplay.
'child's' becomes 'kid's' ('kid' can be a synonym of 'child').
'family' becomes 'kin' (synonyms).
'kids'+'kin'='KIDSKIN'
'from' is the link.
(Another definition for kidskin that I've seen is " Hide material".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
