Hose part (3)
I believe the answer is:
toe
'hose part' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for toe that I've seen before include "Digit; kick" , "Pedal extremity" , "One of the lower digits" , "Conform or obey; ... the line" , "Front of shoe" .)
