It's worn with some sort of hose (4)
I believe the answer is:
shoe
'it's worn with some sort of hose' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'it's worn with some sort of hose' is the wordplay.
'it' becomes 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT').
'worn with' indicates anagramming the letters (worn can mean damaged).
'some' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letters of 'sort of hose' is 'soh'.
'e' anagrammed with 'soh' gives 'SHOE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shoe that I've seen before include "Foot-covering" , "Sandal or brogue?" , "Covering for foot" , "Perhaps casual" , "eg Trainer" .)
