Shorten, perhaps (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edit

'shorten perhaps' is the definition.
(shortening is a kind of editing)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for edit that I've seen before include "Redact, perhaps" , "Revise - expurgate" , "amend copy" , "Adjust text" , "Rewrite" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
