Something that may cut advantage? (4)
I believe the answer is:
edge
'advantage?' is the definition.
(I know that edge is a type of favourable position)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for edge that I've seen before include "Move furtively; intense quality" , "Intense quality; limit" , "Steal" , "Rim or sharp side of knife" , "Margin, extremity" .)
