Crossword Genius

Hide her tale another way (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leather

'hide' is the definition.
(an animal hide)

'her tale another way' is the wordplay.
'another way' indicates anagramming the letters.
'her'+'tale'='hertale'
'hertale' anagrammed gives 'LEATHER'.

(Other definitions for leather that I've seen before include "Thrash" , "A tanner produces it from hide" , "kid, say" , "kid, perhaps" , "Flog; hide" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
