Partially snip rose/cut orchid for lawyer (10)
I believe the answer is:
prosecutor
'for lawyer' is the definition.
(prosecutor is a kind of lawyer)
'partially snip rosecut orchid' is the wordplay.
'partially' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'PROSECUTOR' can be found hidden inside 'snip rosecut orchid'.
(Other definitions for prosecutor that I've seen before include "originator of suit" , "One stating the case against a defendant" , "Legal official" , "Court official" , "One making case against defendant" .)
