Trimming hair down there? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

furbelow

'trimming' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'hair down there?' is the wordplay.
'hair' becomes 'fur' (fur is a kind of hair).
'down there?' becomes 'below'.
'fur'+'below'='FURBELOW'

(Other definitions for furbelow that I've seen before include "Fringe" , "Ornamental trim" , "decoration for skirt, one gathered" , "Bit of skirt" , "Old-fashioned border of a skirt or petticoat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
