Perhaps poop extremely loose, showing ragged edge (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deckle

'ragged edge' is the definition.
(deckle edge is a type of paper with rough edges)

'perhaps poop extremely loose' is the wordplay.
'perhaps poop' becomes 'deck' (poop deck is a type of deck on a ship).
'extremely' means to remove the middle letters.
'loose' with its middle removed is 'le'.
'deck'+'le'='DECKLE'

'showing' acts as a link.

(Another definition for deckle that I've seen is " Device fixing width in paper making".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
