Pared (6)
I believe the answer is:
peeled
'pared' is the definition.
('peel' can be a synonym of 'pare')
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for peeled that I've seen before include "Took the skin off" , "Stripped the rind" , "Stripped the skin off" , "Of fruit, skinned" , "Removed skin as from potato" .)
