Hurtful extract (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cutting

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'hurtful' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'extract' is the second definition.
(I know that cutting is a type of extract)

(Other definitions for cutting that I've seen before include "Keen" , "Of a comment, pointed" , "piece used for plant propagation" , "Sarcastic - excavation for railway etc" , "Barbed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
