Short sock (6)
I believe the answer is:
anklet
'short sock' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for anklet that I've seen before include "Band hanging around low joint" , "Ornament worn around the part of the leg" , "Foot ornament" , "Fetter" , "Adornment on leg" .)
