Conceal whip (4)

I believe the answer is:

hide

I believe this is a double definition.

'conceal' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'whip' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for hide that I've seen before include "Animal's tough skin" , "(Place of) conceal(ment)" , "harbour" , "Keep secret, skin" , "Shelter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
