Clobber A. Minter brutally (7)

I believe the answer is:

raiment

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'clobber a minter brutally' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'clobber a minter' is the wordplay.
'clobber' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'a'+'minter'='aminter'
'aminter' is an anagram of 'RAIMENT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for raiment that I've seen before include "Something put on" , "Tire man (anag.)" , "Garb" , "Clobber" , "Wear" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
