Scratch some flawless cufflinks (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scuff

'scratch' is the definition.
(scuffing is a kind of scratching)

'some flawless cufflinks' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'SCUFF' can be found hidden inside 'flawless cufflinks'.

(Other definitions for scuff that I've seen before include "Scrape (shoe, etc)" , "Scrape (eg, a shoe)" , "drag, while walking" , "Scrape (shoes) when walking" , "Scrape (shoe leather)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
