Cut off, she goes to the far end (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shear

'cut off' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'she goes to the far end' is the wordplay.
'she' becomes 'shea' ().
'goes to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'end' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'far' is 'r'.
'shea'+'r'='SHEAR'

(Other definitions for shear that I've seen before include "Cut the wool of 14 across" , "Remove a fleece" , "Remove sheep's wool" , "Cutter" , "shave" .)
