Crossword Genius

Name for a touch (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

handle

This clue is a double definition.

'name' is the first definition.
(a handle is a name)

'a touch' is the second definition.
(I know that handle is a type of touch)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for handle that I've seen before include "Touch - deal with" , "Infectious disease" , "Deal with - one's name (slang)" , "Feel or manipulate" , "Part to be grasped" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
