Weapon injured girl (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cutlass

'weapon' is the definition.
(cutlass is a kind of weapon)

'injured girl' is the wordplay.
'injured' becomes 'cut' (similar in meaning).
'girl' becomes 'lass' (lass can informally mean a girl).
'cut'+'lass'='CUTLASS'

(Other definitions for cutlass that I've seen before include "Sharp weapon" , "What Blackbeard wielded" , "Curved, one-edged sword" , "Short, heavy curved sword" , "Sword formerly used by sailors" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
