Practitioner's charge for cut feet? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fee

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'practitioner's charge' is the definition.
'fee' can be an answer for 'charge' (fee is a kind of charge). I'm not sure about the 'practitioner's' bit.

'cut feet?' is the wordplay.
'cut' means to remove the last letter.
'feet' with its final letter taken away is 'FEE'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fee that I've seen before include "Payment to a professional for services" , "price" , "Sum payable to professional person for services" , "Amount paid for job" , "Cost" .)
