It takes panes (4)
I believe the answer is:
sash
'it takes panes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for sash that I've seen before include "Frame for a windowpane" , "Window frame; cloth strip (worn over shoulder)" , "Baldrick" , "Waistband - type of window" , "seen hanging around Miss World?" .)
