stocks.
or stockings. other than that - no idea
of the two would go with stockings.
stocks and gin.
stockings another word for hose..
Stockings(hose) gin(drink)reversed inside Stocks(old punishment)
Stockings - stocks + gin
Question Author
Stockings doesn't seem to be correct. G is a given letter & doesn't appear in either of the 9-letter grid positions. (It's either the fourth letter of a 6-letter word or the first of a 7-letter word, which cross at the G.
Gin is not actually reversed, but is a anagram, so clue is not quite right imho
^ sorry crossed post , will have another think
i still think stockings is correct,
still if it isn't, then back to the drawing board.

Stocks-t = socks
