Prune (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

trim

snip

'prune' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for trim that I've seen before include "Cut neatly; light haircut" , "Make neat and smooth by cutting, say hair" , "Clip into shape" , "Arrange sails to suit the weather" , "Svelte" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Washington Post, the Penny Press and The Wall Street Journal.
