Bit of cloth on girl? (5)
I believe the answer is:
thong
'bit' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'of cloth on girl?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'THONG' is hidden within 'cloth on girl'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for thong that I've seen before include "Leather strip fastener" , "Skimpy underwear" , "Lash of whip" , "Leather strip that forms the flexible part of a whip: excuse for underwear" , "Leather whiplash" .)
