Roughly cut the fine material charge (8)
I believe the answer is:
lacerate
'roughly cut' is the definition.
'lacerate' can be an answer for 'cut' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'roughly' bit.
'fine material charge' is the wordplay.
'fine material' becomes 'lace'.
'charge' becomes 'rate' (rate is a kind of charge).
'lace'+'rate'='LACERATE'
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lacerate that I've seen before include "Clare ate (anag)" , "Deeply cut (flesh, skin)" , "Tear or gash roughly" , "Tear or make deep cuts" , "Injure be tearing, wound roughly" .)
