Result seen as huge, odds cut (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ensue

'result' is the definition.
('ensue' can be a synonym of 'result')

'seen as huge odds cut' is the wordplay.
'odds cut' means one should take alternating letters (odd-numbered letters are removed).
'seen'+'as'+'huge'='seenashuge'
The alternating letters of 'seenashuge' are 'ENSUE'.

(Other definitions for ensue that I've seen before include "Occur afterwards" , "Cultivate plants/vegetables" , "succeed" , "Follow afterwards" , "Follow subsequently" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
