cuff

This might be a double definition.

'strike' is the first definition.
(both can mean to hit)

'at' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cuff that I've seen before include "Hit with the flat of the hand" , "Sleeve ending" , "Smack; end of shirt sleeve" , "beat" , "Wrist end of sleeve" .)
