Temporary repair (5)
I believe the answer is:
patch
'temporary repair' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for patch that I've seen before include "Piece of material sewn over a hole" , "Piece of cloth as decoration or to cover a hole" , "Covering material" , "Piece of cloth put on another" , "Mend by adding fabric" .)
