Hit with a band? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

belted

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'hit' is the first definition.

'with a band' is the second definition.
(wearing a belt, a band-like item)

(Other definitions for belted that I've seen before include "Hit very hard; done up" , "as an earl may be" , "Dealt a heavy blow" , "Ran furiously" , "whacked" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Times.
