Cutting part of the wings (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hewing

'cutting' is the definition.

'part of the wings' is the wordplay.
'part of' indicates a hidden word.
'HEWING' can be found hidden inside 'the wings'.

(Other definitions for hewing that I've seen before include "taking a cut" , "process to remove trees?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
