End trimmed fur being gathered by volunteers online? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

terminal

'end' is the definition.
(I know that end can be written as terminal)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for terminal that I've seen before include "Occurring at the end" , "Leading to death, fatal" , "At the end, final" , "Deathly" , "Arrivals or departures building" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
