Hosiery item that might be blessed (6,5)
I believe the answer is:
cotton socks
'item that might be blessed' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'hosiery' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'hosiery' could be 'socks' (socks is a kind of hosiery) and 'socks' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'cotton' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cotton socks that I've seen before include "Footwear (often blessed!)" , "Half-hose of natural fibre (bless them!)" .)
