Stone cut from judgement (3)
I believe the answer is:
gem
'stone' is the definition.
(a gemstone)
'cut from judgement' is the wordplay.
'cut from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the answer is cut out of the clue).
'GEM' can be found hidden inside 'judgement'.
(Other definitions for gem that I've seen before include "Precious or semi-precious stone" , "Pearl" , "Emerald or sapphire, say" , "Kindness; comfort (German)" , "Pleasant and cheerful (from German)" .)
