Complaint arising from careless hewing? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

whinge

'complaint' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'careless hewing?' is the wordplay.
'careless' indicates an anagram.
'hewing' is an anagram of 'WHINGE'.

'arising from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for whinge that I've seen before include "Complain peevishly" , "Hewing (anag.)" , "Moan" , "Complain annoyingly" , "Grouse" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
