Carry On Doctor , in one cut (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

continue

'carry on' is the definition.
('continue' can be a synonym of 'carry on')

'doctor in one cut' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'one'+'cut'='inonecut'
'inonecut' anagrammed gives 'CONTINUE'.

(Other definitions for continue that I've seen before include "Carry on" , "Persist" , "Proceed" , "Go on without stopping" , "Don't stop, keep going" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
