Crossword Genius

Part of sleeve is a hit (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cuff

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'part of sleeve' is the first definition.
('cuff' is part of 'sleeve')

'a hit' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for cuff that I've seen before include "End part of sleeve" , "by one hand" , "Smack; end of shirt sleeve" , "Blow - on the wrist?" , "beat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
