Cut (3)

Ross

'cut' is the definition.
(lopping is a kind of cutting)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lop that I've seen before include "Prune, cut the top off" , "Cut (e.g. branch off)" , "Hack" , "Cut away branches or twigs" , "Cut off, tree branches say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, the Penny Press, the Evening Standard, The Mirror, The Telegraph, the King Feature Syndicate, the Newsday, The Guardian and The New York Times.
