Outline paper cut, trimmed at the edges (6)
I believe the answer is:
apercu
'at the edges' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'outline paper cut trimmed' is the wordplay.
'trimmed' indicates a hidden word (part of the clue must be trimmed away).
'APERCU' is hidden in the letters of 'outline paper cut'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for apercu that I've seen before include "Short synopsis, precis" , "summary, insight; race up (anag.)" , "Illuminating or entertaining point (from French)" , "what's observed" , "insightful comment" .)
