Netlike fabric (4)

I think it could be either:

mesh

lace

'netlike fabric' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for mesh that I've seen before include "Trap" , "Web" , "Net, snare" , "Engagement" , "Network fabric - engage with it" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Washington Post, The New York Times, the Newsday, the Newsday.com and the King Feature Syndicate.
