I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cut out' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'flower found around accommodation' is the wordplay.
'flower' becomes 'dee' (River Dee).
'found around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'accommodation' becomes 'let' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'dee' placed around 'let' is 'DELETE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for delete that I've seen before include "Edit out" , "Remove, cross out" , "Take out" , "Wipe out" , "Obliterate" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
