Line drawn after an early wrong guess in hangman (5)

I believe the answer is:

torso

(Other definitions for torso that I've seen before include "Body without head, neck and limbs" , "Trunk; headless, limbless body" , "Poorly-dressed child" , "part of body will be found" , "Roost on trunk?" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
