Bad finger resulting from a cut? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fringe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a cut?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'bad finger' is the wordplay.
'bad' indicates an anagram.
'finger' anagrammed gives 'FRINGE'.

'resulting from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fringe that I've seen before include "Ornamental border of threads" , "Thrum" , "Border - unofficial festival events" , "Border; not mainstream" , "Outer edge; hair over forehead" .)
