Chops (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

axes

hews

'chops' is the definition.
(axing is a kind of chopping)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for axes that I've seen before include "Drastically cuts" , "Does away with" , "lines in graph at right angles" , "Hatchets" , "Chops" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Penny Press.
