Jump on the ice and cut lines (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

axel

'jump on the ice' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'cut lines' is the wordplay.
'cut' becomes 'axe' (both can mean to cancel or remove).
'lines' becomes 'l' (abbreviation as in lines of poetry).
'axe'+'l'='AXEL'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for axel that I've seen before include "part of skating performance" , "A Torvill & Dean manoeuvre" , "Manoeuvre by skater" , "Ice-skating jump" , "Jump executed on ice" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
