Cuts some weeds (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

docks

I believe this is a double definition.

'cuts' is the first definition.
(docking is a kind of cutting)

'weeds' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'some' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for docks that I've seen before include "Trims (tail); arrives in port" , "Harbours" , "Cuts short, curtails" , "Cuts short - coarse weeds" , "Broadleaved weeds" .)
