Problem, snag (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hitch

I believe this is a double definition.

'problem' is the first definition.
(a hitch is a problem or difficulty)

'snag' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for hitch that I've seen before include "Hindrance" , "Pull up" , "Unexpected problem" , "Temporary obstacle" , "get a free ride" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
