Take notice of the editor's cut (4)
I believe the answer is:
heed
'take notice' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'of the editor's cut' is the wordplay.
'of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'HEED' is hidden within 'the editors cut'.
(Other definitions for heed that I've seen before include "Careful attention" , "Listen to carefully" , "Pay close attention to" , "Observe" , "Take to heart" .)
