Trunk of the body (5)
I believe the answer is:
torso
'trunk of the body' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for torso that I've seen before include "Chest" , "Roots (anag)" , "Roots out in trunk of the body" , "Trunk; headless, limbless body" , "Limbless statue" .)
