Nick made in beginning to scissor cloth (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swipe

'nick' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'beginning to scissor cloth' is the wordplay.
'beginning to' says to take the initial letters.
'cloth' becomes 'wipe' (piece of cloth used to wipe things down).
The first letter of 'scissor' is 's'.
's'+'wipe'='SWIPE'

'made in' is the link.

(Other definitions for swipe that I've seen before include "Hit; criticism" , "Pass (card) through an electronic reader" , "Blow - nick" , "Put (card) through reader; take without asking" , "Slap" .)
