Hit with garment (4)
I believe the answer is:
sock
This might be a double definition.
'hit' is the first definition.
(socking is a kind of hitting)
'garment' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sock that I've seen before include "Hit; horse's leg marking" , "Hit; garment" , "Garment; hard blow" , "impact" , "component of Christmas present" .)
