Feeling wounded in parts? (3,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cut up

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

'feeling' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'wounded in parts?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'wounded' could be 'cut' (I've seen this before) and 'cut' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'up' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cut up that I've seen before include "so treated by another driver?" , "Maize, rye, corn, etc" , "Happy? No" , "affected by separation" , "Extremely upset" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
