Splatter catcher (3)
I believe the answer is:
bib
'splatter catcher' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for bib that I've seen before include "Palindromic protective cloth for child while eating" , "Upper part of apron" , "drink" , "Baby-feeding cloth" , "Protective clothing - fish" .)
