A cutting - a piece of paper (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slip

I believe this is a triple definition!

'a cutting' is the first definition.
(I know that cutting can be written as slip)

'a piece' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'of' acts as a link.

'paper' is the third definition.
(slip is a kind of paper)

(Other definitions for slip that I've seen before include "Nod" , "Cutting" , "Sole lapse" , "Lose footing as on banana skin" , "Cricket fielder - mistake" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
