Curtail, truncate (3,5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

7

3,5

cut short

I believe this is a double definition.

'curtail' is the first definition.

(Other definitions for cut short that I've seen before include "Interrupt" , "Stopped talking" , "instruction to army barber" , "Abbreviate" , "ended prematurely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
