Loves a party with others getting cut (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adores

'loves' is the definition.
(adoring is a kind of loving)

'a party with others getting cut' is the wordplay.
'party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'others' becomes 'rest' (I've seen this before).
'getting cut' means to remove the last letter.
'rest' with its final letter taken off is 'res'.
'a'+'do'+'res'='ADORES'

(Other definitions for adores that I've seen before include "holds dear" , "Soared (anag.)" , "Loves; reveres" , "Loves deeply, worships" , "is lover" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
