Hand fits awkwardly (4)
I believe the answer is:
fist
'hand' is the definition.
(fist is a kind of hand)
'fits awkwardly' is the wordplay.
'awkwardly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'fits' with letters rearranged gives 'FIST'.
(Other definitions for fist that I've seen before include "Balled hand" , "Hit with a clenched one" , "handwriting?" , "One may deck in a ring" , "or be decked in a ring" .)
