Cut off piece of territory (6)

I believe the answer is:

island

(Other definitions for island that I've seen before include "Ground surrounded by water" , "Boffin, Baffin or Bali, say" , "Body of land entirely surrounded by water" , "Piece of land surrounded by water" , "Pedestrian refuge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
