Prune found in cellophane (3)
I believe the answer is:
lop
'prune' is the definition.
(I know that prune can be written as lop)
'in cellophane' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'LOP' is hidden in the letters of 'cellophane'.
'found' is the link.
(Other definitions for lop that I've seen before include "Chop (off)" , "Remove branches from a tree" , "Hack" , "Prune, cut the top off" , "Cut off, tree branches say" .)
