Hook or snag? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hitch

I believe this is a double definition.

'hook' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'snag?' is the second definition.
(snagging is a kind of hitching)

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hitch that I've seen before include "Thumb (a lift)" , "unite" , "Temporary difficulty" , "Hindrance" , "Snag, drawback" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
