Cut off, she goes to the far end (5)
I believe the answer is:
shear
'cut off' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'she goes to the far end' is the wordplay.
'she' becomes 'shea' ().
'goes to' says to put letters next to each other.
'end' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'far' is 'r'.
'shea'+'r'='SHEAR'
(Other definitions for shear that I've seen before include "Cut the wool of 14 across" , "Remove a fleece" , "Remove sheep's wool" , "Cutter" , "shave" .)
