'cut live' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives sometimes define each other.

'the 66 cult edition' is the wordplay.
'the 66' becomes 'vivi' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cult' becomes 'sect' (religious sect).
'edition' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'vivi'+'sect'+'ed'='VIVISECTED'

'to' is the link.
