Jagged cut in description (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rip

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

'jagged cut' is the definition.
'rip' can be an answer for 'cut' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'jagged' bit.

'in description' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'RIP' is hidden in the letters of 'description'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rip that I've seen before include "Epitaph" , "Severely criticise" , "Letters often seen on gravestone" , "found on grave?" , "Letters usually carved on gravestone" .)
