Strike or pinch (5)
I believe the answer is:
swipe
I believe this is a double definition.
'strike' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'pinch' is the second definition.
(I know that pinch can be written as swipe)
'or' is the link.
(Other definitions for swipe that I've seen before include "Wipes away with a blow" , "Put (card) through reader; hit" , "Filch" , "Half-inch" , "Process (credit card); steal (colloq.)" .)
