Wear belt (7)
I believe the answer is:
clobber
This clue might be a double definition.
'wear' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'belt' is the second definition.
