Open (a gift) (6)
I believe the answer is:
unwrap
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">open a gift</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for unwrap that I've seen before include "Remove coverings from (something)" , "Open (a gift)" , "Remove the covering from" , "Remove packaging from" , "peel" .)
