Cut short flyover encroaching half of the road (8)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
abridged
'cut short' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abridged that I've seen before include "Abbreviated, contracted" , "Cut short - big adder (anag)" , "Shortened as book may be" , "Epitomised" , "Shorter" .)
