Cut off recent tip for a change (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intercept

'cut off' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'recent tip for a change' is the wordplay.
'for a change' is an anagram indicator.
'recent'+'tip'='recenttip'
'recenttip' anagrammed gives 'INTERCEPT'.

(Other definitions for intercept that I've seen before include "Arrest" , "cut off" , "Obstruct to prevent reaching a destination" , "Stop in transit" , "Seize in transit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
