Audibly ripped stitch in upper body (5)
I believe the answer is:
torso
'upper body' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for torso that I've seen before include "Roost on trunk?" , "Body (excluding head, neck and limbs)" , "Body's trunk" , "Chest" , "Roost (anag)" .)
