Lick cut (4)
I believe the answer is:
clip
I believe this is a double definition.
'lick' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'cut' is the second definition.
(clip is a kind of cut)
(Other definitions for clip that I've seen before include "Magazine" , "Spring-loaded holder" , "Fastener; trim" , "Trim, hedges perhaps" , "Cut - part of film" .)
