Date stone cut (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

see

'date' is the definition.
(I know that date can be written as see)

'stone cut' is the wordplay.
'stone' becomes 'seed' (eg the stone from a fruit).
'cut' means to remove the last letter.
'seed' with its last letter taken away is 'SEE'.

(Other definitions for see that I've seen before include "Visit" , "Receive" , "ecclesiastical division" , "around cathedral" , "Inspect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
