Removes the rind from (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pares

'removes the rind from' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for pares that I've seen before include "Trims, say a pencil" , "Sharpens in spare way" , "Sharpens like pencil" , "Trims by cutting away" , "Trims by cutting as with pencil" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal and the USA Today.
