Middle part of the body (5)
I believe the answer is:
torso
'middle part of the body' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for torso that I've seen before include "Limbless statue" , "Poorly-dressed child" , "Body, minus its head and limbs" , "Roots (anag)" , "Trunk of human body" .)
