Cut (4)

Ross

'cut' is the definition.
(both can mean to cancel or remove)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for axe that I've seen before include "Cancel" , "flower in Devon" , "Cut costs or staff drastically" , "Terminate; chopper" , "Guitar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the Newsday, The Guardian, the Penny Press, The New York Times, The Independent, the King Feature Syndicate, the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
