Scotsman wearing delicate fabric for sport (8)
I believe the answer is:
lacrosse
'for sport' is the definition.
(lacrosse is a kind of sport)
'scotsman wearing delicate fabric' is the wordplay.
'scotsman' becomes 'Ross' (common Scottish name).
'wearing' indicates putting letters inside.
'delicate fabric' becomes 'lace' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ross' placed inside 'lace' is 'LACROSSE'.
(Other definitions for lacrosse that I've seen before include "Game played with nets on sticks" , "Ball game using netted stick" , "Sport played with sticks" , "Like thirteen of the other clues in the French" , "Game played with a netted stick" .)
