'cut' is the definition.
(hack can mean to cut or chop)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for hack that I've seen before include "Tired old horse" , "Journalistic drudge (for the chop?)" , "persistent cough" , "Ride" , "Kick on the shins" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, the Evening Standard, the Penny Press, The Guardian, The Irish Independent, The Mirror, the King Feature Syndicate, The Star Tribune and the LA Times.
