Trunk dumped in Barnet or somewhere (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

torso

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'trunk' is the definition.
(I know that trunk can be written as Torso)

'in barnet or somewhere' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'TORSO' can be found hidden inside 'barnet or somewhere'.

'dumped' is the link.
This may not be right. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for torso that I've seen before include "Trunk, something unfinished" , "Trunk; headless, limbless body" , "upper body" , "Roots (anag)" , "Roots out in trunk of the body" .)
