This could be a double definition.

'hit' is the first definition.
(I know that sock is a more specific form of the action hit)

I also know that 'underwear' relates to this answer.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sock that I've seen before include "impact" , "Clothing; punch" , "Wallop" , "one with wind" , "Hit hard; woollen item" .)
