Leather eye protector (4)
I believe the answer is:
lash
This could be a double definition.
'leather' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'eye protector' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lash that I've seen before include "Sweep" , "Fasten with rope; whip" , "Beat; fasten with cord" , "Flog" , "Whip with a sharp blow" .)
