Short time ago, returned with the garment (4)
I believe the answer is:
toga
'the garment' is the definition.
(toga is a kind of garment)
'short time ago returned' is the wordplay.
'short time' becomes 't' (abbreviation for time).
'returned' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'ago' reversed gives 'oga'.
't'+'oga'='TOGA'
'with' is the link.
(Other definitions for toga that I've seen before include "Old Roman gown" , "Roman male garb" , "Roman clothing" , "Got a robe for an old Roman" , "Ancient Roman garment" .)
