Given the chop (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

axed

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">given the chop</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for axed that I've seen before include "Cut; terminated" , "removed" , "Dismissed, given the chop" , "Abandoned, given the chop" , "Felled" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
