Likeable type of amputation? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disarming

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

This could be a double definition.

'likeable' is the first definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'type of amputation?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for disarming that I've seen before include "Winsome" , "Having winning ways - or taking guns from" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
