Neat cut (4)
I believe the answer is:
trim
I believe this is a double definition.
'neat' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'cut' is the second definition.
(I know that cut can be written as trim)
(Other definitions for trim that I've seen before include "To change views expediently" , "Spick and span" , "Neat - pare" , "Edging material - in good order" , "Reduce slightly" .)
