Copy extract from paper (3)
I believe the answer is:
ape
'copy' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'extract from paper' is the wordplay.
'extract from' indicates a hidden word (I've seen this in other clues).
'APE' can be found hidden inside 'paper'.
(Other definitions for ape that I've seen before include "gorilla" , "Parrot" , "Anthropoid primate" , "Simian - copy" , "Take off" .)
