Bandage

Answer:

DRESS

Hint:

Think of a medical term for covering a wound that also describes putting on formal attire.

Explanation:

"Bandage" is a clever play on words where the clue hints at a medical covering but actually refers to a verb meaning to treat a wound. The answer "DRESS" fits because it can mean both to apply a bandage and to put on clothing—here, it’s the medical sense that’s being used. The trick is recognizing that "dress" isn’t just about fashion; in medical terms, it’s what you do to a wound.
