In socks, a bit of a hole can be disturbing! (6)
I believe the answer is:
shocks
'be disturbing' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'in socks a bit of a hole' is the wordplay.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a bit of' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'hole' is 'h'.
'socks' enclosing 'h' is 'SHOCKS'.
'can' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shocks that I've seen before include "Effects of charges of electricity" , "Appals" , "'Stuns, jolts (6)'" , "Sudden upsetting or surprising events" , "Surprises, sometimes electrical" .)
