Shrink, which is a snag (8)
I believe the answer is:
drawback
'snag' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drawback that I've seen before include "Fly in the ointment" , "Catch" , "Obstacle" , "Disadvantage, problem" , "Hindrance - disadvantage" .)
