Wound can entail cutting (9)

I believe the answer is:

lancinate

'cutting' is the definition.

'wound can entail' is the wordplay.
'wound' indicates anagramming the letters (wound can mean twisted or turned around).
'can'+'entail'='canentail'
'canentail' with letters rearranged gives 'LANCINATE'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
