Cut from blade, as some say (5)
I believe the answer is:
sawed
'cut' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sawed that I've seen before include "Cut with a toothed blade" , "Cut with edged tool" , "Cut through wood" .)
