Midsection (5)
I believe the answer is:
torso
'midsection' 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" , "Roots (anag)" , "Trunk, something unfinished" , "Body without head, neck and limbs" , "Body, minus its head and limbs" .)
