Put away slice (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

section

This clue is a double definition.

'put away' is the first definition.
(as in sectioning a person)

'slice' is the second definition.
(I know that section is a type of slice)

(Other definitions for section that I've seen before include "Element" , "Divide; part" , "surgical procedure" , "Segment" , "Cut" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
