Ladies to gather round, being cut off (8)
I believe the answer is:
isolated
'being cut off' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'ladies to gather' is the wordplay.
'gather' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'gathered' mean this).
'ladies'+'to'='ladiesto'
'ladiesto' anagrammed gives 'ISOLATED'.
'round' is the link.
(Other definitions for isolated that I've seen before include "kept apart from others" , "Solitary" , "Separated from others" , "individual" , "Set apart from others" .)
