Hacker's need (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

axe

'hacker's need' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for axe that I've seen before include "Cut costs or staff drastically" , "fell" , "Remove ruthlessly or suddenly" , "US jazz instrument" , "Eliminate" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the Newsday.com and the New York Times.
