Ban or cut parts of (6)

I believe the answer is:

censor

(Other definitions for censor that I've seen before include "Bowdlerise" , "Roman magistrate" , "He bans books and films" , "One vetting films, etc" , "Suppress anything considered obscene or politically unacceptable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
