Blunt end of skewer stuck into piece of meat (4)
I believe the answer is:
curt
'blunt' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'end of skewer stuck into piece of meat' is the wordplay.
'end of' indicates one should take the final letters.
'stuck into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'piece of meat' becomes 'cut' ().
The final letter of 'skewer' is 'r'.
'r' inserted into 'cut' is 'CURT'.
(Other definitions for curt that I've seen before include "Snappy" , "Rudely abrupt, short" , "Shrub with bright autumn colours" , "Terse and laconic" , "Dismissively short" .)
